Acharya Prashant explains that to understand complex situations like the Ukraine-Russia war, one must read up and know the facts. He advises reading a lot about the history of Ukraine, its relationship with Russia, and its internal divisions where some parts lean towards Russia and others towards Europe. Without this factual basis, any attempt to form an opinion or make a comparison is futile. He dismisses the comparison of a living person like Putin to a mythological character like Arjun as a random analogy made without sufficient knowledge. He questions how such a comparison can be made without a deep understanding of the living person and the context. He states that these random comparisons arise from a lack of factual understanding and are a symptom of ignorance. He criticizes the modern trend of forming strong opinions based on superficial information from media or short videos, which he calls "YouTube bullets." He finds it amazing that people hold so many opinions without knowledge, a state he refers to as "Maya" (illusion), clarifying that he is against ignorance, not opinions. Acharya Prashant concludes by emphasizing the Upanishadic teaching on the importance of both worldly knowledge and self-knowledge. He quotes the Upanishads, stating that one with only worldly knowledge falls into a deep well, but one with only self-knowledge falls into an even deeper one. However, the one who possesses both worldly knowledge and self-knowledge crosses over death and attains immortality. He explains that the self and the world are mirror images, and to know one, you must know the other. Therefore, a spiritual seeker must not remain isolated but must also understand the ways of the world. He asserts that real knowledge is power and is sacred.
