Acharya Prashant asserts that technological advancements and minor lifestyle changes, such as reducing plastic use or switching to hybrid cars, are insufficient to address environmental crises. He explains that technology merely increases efficiency, which often leads to higher consumption because lower costs encourage more people to use resources. He argues that the global definition of development and GDP is fundamentally rooted in consumption, which stems from human ego and the desire for sensory enjoyment. He emphasizes that providing more material comforts to oneself or one's family is often mistaken for love, but it is actually just another form of consumption. He criticizes individuals who seek moral satisfaction through small acts like using jute bags or walking short distances, calling these actions a 'false consolation' that prevents people from addressing the root cause. According to him, these efforts are insignificant and do not fulfill one's true duty or 'Dharma'. He maintains that the real problem is the internal darkness, fear, and lust within the human mind, which no technology or laboratory can eliminate. He concludes that unless the human consciousness becomes spiritual and addresses its internal flaws, technological progress will remain useless in creating a better world.
