Acharya Prashant emphasizes that humanity is at a critical juncture, facing potential total annihilation because individuals fail to realize that their perceived self and desires are not truly their own. He argues that public policy must move beyond mere infrastructure and social amenities to address the internal haze and deluded identities of the public. He suggests that since policy makers emerge from the same public, they often lack a clear vision of what needs to be achieved. He asserts that while efficient minds can handle numbers and execution, a sage or a knower is required to set a meaningful vision for society. He highlights that in the process of rejecting organized religion, society has mistakenly discarded core spirituality, which he believes should be the foundation of all public policy. Without knowing who we are and where we stand, he contends that even the best resources and policies are ultimately purposeless.
