Acharya Prashant explains that humanity is currently in its darkest hour, where history is nearing its end because human control and predictability are replacing the chance events that define history. He observes that unlike the Kurukshetra war, where Shri Krishna could clearly distinguish between right and wrong, modern evil is pervasive and lacks clear separations. He argues that contemporary conflicts are often between two versions of the same ego, making it impossible for a divine force to choose a side. He asserts that social evils like the caste system, untouchability, and racism are not being eradicated by moral reform or spiritual realization, but rather by human desire and greed. Acharya Prashant further elaborates that desire acts as a powerful force that defeats petty social evils for its own fulfillment. He cites examples such as public transport forcing different castes to sit together and economic prosperity ending the Cold War. He points out that religious discord and communal riots diminish in metropolitan areas not because of religious harmony, but because money and trade make people more useful to each other as customers or tools for profit. While desire has successfully reduced traditional wars and social barriers, he concludes by posing the critical question of who will now defeat desire itself, which has become the ultimate and most formidable evil.
