Acharya Prashant explains that if one is serious about life, like Mahatma Gandhi was, one would not just be a do-gooder but would actively read, meet, travel, observe, and be alert to find opportunities. The discussion then moves to the concept of non-violence, which is described as not merely a particular code of conduct. True non-violence is about not seeing oneself as limited and not unnecessarily building boundaries for oneself. The speaker defines violence as the very existence of "the other." This separation or otherness is violence itself. For instance, one person dying while another continues to live, or one person suffering while another laughs, are examples of this inherent violence. This fundamental violence does not need to wait to be manifested as violent conduct. While violent conduct may be suppressed by rules of law, morality, or even fear, the mind can still remain violent. This is because the mind sees the rest of the world and existence as an implicit or explicit enemy. Spirituality is presented as the antidote to this violent mindset. It is about not perceiving existence as an alien or separate place, but rather belonging to existence itself, not to a narrow household, caste, or ideology. All such identifications are boundaries, and wherever there are boundaries, there is violence. These boundaries create a feeling of being small, powerless, and limited. The speaker notes that feeling powerless and feeling powerful are almost the same, as both imply separation and distance. We lack a total belongingness to life, feeling attached only to our house or city, and thus feel uprooted when we leave, which is a form of violence. The truly non-violent person is at home everywhere and in every situation, never feeling like a stranger or an alien because they have roots everywhere. If one's being is specific, narrow, and localized, that is violence. Creating an "inner circle" and viewing everyone outside it as an alien is violence. By understanding violence, non-violence becomes clear. Non-violence is not about following duties, but is an action born of clarity and love. While following duties may make one's conduct appear non-violent, the mind can remain violent. An action founded on understanding is irreversible and has momentum, whereas an action from a flimsy point lacks sincerity and longevity. The right things can happen to you only if you are prepared.
