Acharya Prashant asserts that a child is uneducated, not uncorrupted. He argues that the corrupted one emerged from the very womb, and therefore, corruption is present from the first moment of life after birth. Even inside the mother's womb, the child is already corrupted, as only corruption takes birth. To illustrate this point, he references the novel "Lord of the Flies," which describes a situation where young kids, aged five to fifteen, are left stranded on a deserted island after their plane makes an emergency landing during World War II. The story shows how these children, once the influence of society, school, and parents is gone, very quickly turn into little monsters. They start biting, kicking, and eventually eating each other. A point comes when one of the fat boys is killed, his head is chopped off and put on a pointed stick, around which flies gather, giving the novel its title, "Lord of the Flies." The speaker further explains that a child's behavior is inherently selfish. They will take an earthworm or a caterpillar and chop it into pieces. They are captivated by anything colorful and attractive and are prepared to go to any extent to serve their self-interest. For instance, if a child wants milk, it doesn't matter if the mother is tired or had a bad delivery experience; the child will cry until fed. If there isn't enough milk, the child will bite, regardless of the pain it causes the mother. The child shows no compassion. True innocence, according to the speaker, is not found in a child but in enlightened beings like Christ, Shri Krishna, and Buddha, who are the "real kids." He states that a child is "Prakriti" (Nature) personified, which is ancient and old, whereas an enlightened being like Christ is truly new. The speaker concludes that the child is born cunning, and it takes a great deal of spiritual practice, discipline, and grace to get rid of this inherent crookedness. The one who has washed off this cunningness becomes a saint, and the saint is the truly innocent one. Except for the saint, all are cunning.
