Acharya Prashant begins by questioning the definition of a resource, stating that a resource is a means ("sadhan"), which is only meaningful when there is an objective or a target ("sadhya"). Therefore, before discussing the distribution of resources, one must be clear about the purpose for which these resources will be used. The question of distribution, he argues, comes much later. He asks, "Do you even know what you are going to use those things for?" Using the analogy of distributing five knives among five children, he questions whether this would be a distribution of resources or misery. The primary issue is not distribution but education: teaching people what is worthy of having in life and how to use any resource. Without teaching a person what to do with money, simply redistributing it is like distributing misery, as the underlying reasons for poverty and accumulation remain unaddressed. People are poor for several reasons, with lack of opportunity being just one. The speaker asserts that when one understands that the most important thing in life is consciousness, the first priority is not the distribution of resources but creating conditions for the elevation of consciousness for the entire population. This requires educating both children and adults on what to value and what to live for. When one knows their life's purpose, the tendency to accumulate wealth diminishes. He posits that the need to accumulate vast wealth arises because a person does not know what to do in life. He concludes that redistribution is not the answer to wealth inequality; the real solution is spiritual education. If people were spiritually educated, the problem of excessive accumulation would not have occurred. The speaker criticizes all economic theories as inherently faulty because they are predicated on the flawed assumption that all man wants is material comfort. No economic theory, he states, takes into account that what man truly wants is liberation. Money can buy things, but it cannot tell you what to buy. That wisdom, he explains, can only come from spirituality, which teaches the extent to which money is useful and what it cannot fetch.
