Acharya Prashant explains that the external catastrophes threatening humanity, such as climate change and nuclear disasters, are physical consequences of an underlying inner psychic chaos. He emphasizes that the world is a projection of the human mind; therefore, if the mind is disordered, the world will inevitably be a messy place. He points out that human biology and the sensory apparatus are designed to look outward, which conceals the internal reality and leads to a lack of self-awareness. This outward focus is further reinforced by an education system and culture that equate happiness with external acquisitions, leaving individuals oblivious to their internal environment where they actually live.
