Acharya Prashant begins by drawing an analogy between light and darkness, and truth and falsehood. He explains that just as darkness is forbidden in the presence of light, falsehood is forbidden in the presence of truth. You cannot even bring darkness for comparison in front of light; if one exists, the other cannot. The ego (aham) is a falsehood, and by the law of Truth, it cannot exist. However, in its own view, the ego does exist, and it grows, blossoms, and flourishes. The ego wants to become the Atman (the Self), and since the Atman is infinite, the ego also wants to become infinite. But it makes a foolish mistake: it wants to become the Atman by expanding, whereas the Atman is realized by dissolving. This very effort of the ego to exist is a violation of the law of existence, and the punishment for breaking this law is suffering. The existence of the ego itself is its punishment. The more the ego tries to be, the more it suffers, and the more it suffers, the closer it comes to its end. The speaker then applies this to a social context, referencing the movie 'Rang De Basanti' and India's freedom struggle. He states that the same person can be an ordinary street loafer and, in the blink of an eye, become a revolutionary like Bhagat Singh. This transformation happens when the unrighteousness (adharma) in society becomes clear and explicit. During the British rule, the slavery was so overt that it was impossible to deny. This clarity gave rise to great personalities and revolutionaries. When it is clear that something is deeply wrong, the consciousness awakens and says, 'No, this is a lie.' In contrast, today's youth are given the illusion of freedom, which prevents them from becoming revolutionaries. The speaker argues that the most dangerous slavery is the one that is hidden. When unrighteousness is concealed, it survives. Today, unrighteousness is given the name of righteousness, and people are kept distracted by entertainment. When someone points out that something is wrong, they are mocked, called inauspicious, and told to just dance and enjoy. The dance of a revolutionary is different from the dance at a wedding. When it is not clear that something is wrong, great personalities and revolutionaries do not arise from society. Acharya Prashant concludes by quoting Shri Krishna from the Bhagavad Gita: 'Whenever there is a decline of righteousness and a rise of unrighteousness, I manifest myself.' He explains that this is not about a divine event but about a phenomenon within consciousness. When it becomes clear to the ego that righteousness has declined, then the ego itself stands up for righteousness. This awakening can happen through teaching or through punishment. But some are so stubborn that even after immense suffering, they do not learn. For such people, who are destroyed from within, another person is needed to bring about their destruction.
