Acharya Prashant begins by stating that recent violent events are telltale signs of the age we are in. He points to the allure of sophisticated and beautiful weapons, which, once held, create a desire to be used. This is compounded by video games that simulate these weapons to a fault, where one can spend hours a day firing an exact replica of an AK-47. When these weapons are readily available over the counter, as in some societies, it creates a dangerous situation. Even if only one in five hundred people turns into a maniac, the damage is too much to bear. He cites a recent case in Lucknow, India, where a 16-year-old shot his mother because she prevented him from playing PUBG, kept the corpse in the room, and partied for two days. The speaker explains that we forget we are essentially people of the jungle. This is why Vedanta is so relevant. We do not realize that except for our sharp intellect, everything about us is animalistic. Our tendencies belong squarely to the jungle; we want fun, good food, and pleasure at any cost. Morality is just an external imposition for the sake of territory, power, food, and lust. We think we are special because we belong to a particular species, but we are not unique. We share so much with apes and chimpanzees; all our tendencies come from there. It is to these tendencies that we have gifted the AK-47. He describes the human predicament as being a violent animal that knows nothing but self-gratification, with its paw on the nuclear trigger. Acharya Prashant states that the mind is like a sponge, eager to soak in impressions and take in something. It is in a constant state of discontentment. The mind's impressionability will remain; one cannot wish it away. What is important is subjecting the mind to the right impressions. The mind needs education, right knowledge, and philosophical training. He clarifies that he is not talking about something too heavy to be practical, but the barest necessity. The problems adults face are often the same as those children face, indicating a lack of inner growth. For example, a 15-year-old worried about exam numbers becomes a 45-year-old CFO worried about profit and loss statements. He concludes that we are kids with tremendous power to wreak havoc, and the only answer is spiritual education.
