Acharya Prashant addresses the issue of societal violence, such as riots during religious processions, by urging a shift in focus from individual perpetrators to the collective ecosystem that fosters them. He explains that those who commit such acts, irrespective of the religious event—be it Ram Navami, Muharram, or Christmas—are products of an environment that breeds and tolerates them. Instead of merely blaming an event, he calls for a responsible examination of the entire societal structure. The speaker asserts that these violent actions are, to some degree, socially accepted, either actively or passively, which emboldens the perpetrators. He posits that if these individuals faced social ostracization for their perverse behaviors, they would not dare to commit them. To illustrate his point, Acharya Prashant personalizes the scenario, noting that while police may not identify a rioter, their family—wife, children, parents, and friends—are aware of their actions. He questions whether a man would still riot if he knew his wife would disown him upon his return. This complicity is compared to a family partaking in bribe money; they similarly partake in the toxic attitudes brought home. He further describes rioting as an economic activity often involving looting, with the spoils brought home, making the entire family complicit. The active rioters, he says, are just the "tip of the iceberg," supported by a larger system of passive toxicity. He uses the analogy of the immediate social pressure in the auditorium that would quell a single person's disturbance to demonstrate the power of the ecosystem. Ultimately, Acharya Prashant contends that everyone is responsible when such violence occurs and must question why it happens. He states that humans are animals and will fight, and it is the enlightening effect of wisdom literature, such as the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads, that is required to transcend this animalistic disposition. The fundamental principle behind both a violent stabber and a polluter is the same: the self-centered ignorance of the beast. Therefore, wisdom is essential to move beyond these basic bodily instincts.
