Acharya Prashant explains that the belief in an external deity or power responsible for the world's welfare is a form of dualism that absolves individuals of their responsibilities. He states that if injustice occurs, it is because people allow it, and no divine intervention will descend to fix human problems. He emphasizes that both the destruction of the earth and its potential transformation into a heaven are the results of human actions. When the ego drives actions, it leads to ruin, but when actions stem from the soul, they create a better world. He points out that the unrighteous often act with more determination and resolve than those who claim to be righteous but remain passive. He references the Bhagavad Gita, noting that Shri Krishna urged the righteous to fight with the same intensity that the unrighteous display. He argues that the modern world has gained significant technological and economic power, but without a corresponding increase in consciousness or inner purification, this power is used for exploitation and destruction. He cites examples of animal cruelty driven by superstition and greed as evidence of this lack of consciousness. He asserts that the only way to stop such atrocities is through the purification of the human mind, which is the primary goal of his educational efforts. Finally, he addresses the lack of resources for spreading wisdom. He observes that while people are quick to question why the world is in a bad state, they are often reluctant to support the very initiatives that aim to educate and transform human consciousness. He notes that his organization must spend heavily on promoting educational videos because people do not naturally gravitate toward wisdom. He concludes that the responsibility for the world's state lies with the individual, and unless people change themselves and support the spread of truth, the cycle of destruction will continue.
