Acharya Prashant explains that contemporary socio-political issues like anthropogenic global warming are man-made problems created by the human mind. He argues that the human mind is born with a design flaw, enveloped in ignorance and vulnerable to malicious tendencies such as accumulation, consumption, violence, and fear. When these deep-seated tendencies combine with modern material and destructive power, they result in ecological catastrophes, biodiversity loss, and climate change. He emphasizes that these issues cannot be solved by merely addressing the symptoms; one must go to the root of the problem, which is the human mind itself. He describes the root cause as the primordial tendency or the ancient animal within man, referred to as the ego-tendency. While humans appear civilized outwardly, they often seek the same things as animals but with far more destructive power. Acharya Prashant asserts that the Bhagavad Gita and Vedanta are specifically designed to address and purify this flawed center. He critiques the tendency to focus on peripheral symptoms, which he suggests is a form of delusion that allows people to evade the real problem. He concludes that unless there is wisdom education to uplift the general population's understanding and address the root of the human mind, society will continue to hop from one problem to another without achieving real solutions.
