Acharya Prashant explains that there is currently a competition of propaganda, a race to see whose propaganda will win. He describes this as a strange kind of war, but it is the war of today. The central question is who can be more successful in their propaganda. This war does not involve bombs, arrows, or tanks. Instead, the entire game is about publicity and propaganda. There is no scope for an open discussion or dialogue where feelings and ideas can be exchanged to determine which side is right, and then for everyone to accept the correct side. Such a situation is not even possible. He elaborates that a dialogue between the two opposing sides is impossible because they cannot coexist, just as day and night cannot. For example, one side says, 'It's my life, I can eat whatever I want. It's my personal choice to kill and eat animals. These are my ethics and my values.' In contrast, the other side, which he represents, speaks of understanding consciousness. The first side has no interest in understanding this. Therefore, a face-to-face conversation cannot happen. The only recourse is for each side to influence people and make them like-minded. The responsibility of his listeners is to influence more and more people to become like them. Acharya Prashant states that the side with greater numbers will make it increasingly difficult for the other side to exist. His organization can function today because people are present to listen, which enables the creation of videos and supports the organization's financial activities. If the number of supporters were to become zero, this fight could not be sustained for long. Therefore, numbers are important. Counting matters because the common person follows the crowd. The opposing side has more people simply because there is a crowd there, and this puts pressure on others to join them. He notes that even his audience feels better when they see a sizable number of people present, as it validates their choice. The entire game, he concludes, is about increasing numbers. He clarifies that the immediate game is not about awakening people. Awakening can only be given when someone is ready to listen, and they will only be ready to listen when propaganda is done and numbers are increased. The goal of social awakening and bringing light to the masses is a distant one. The current game is different because, he asserts, 99% of the world's population is on a mission to destroy the world. They are not neutral; they have chosen their side and are actively pursuing their destructive agenda. To stop them, it is necessary to show them numbers and external pressure, as they do not understand anything internal. The only way forward is propaganda and numbers.
