Acharya Prashant discusses the explosion of the kids' market and its detrimental effects on children's mental health. He explains that the market is highly lucrative, leading sellers to corrupt children's minds with greed and violence to drive consumption. This commercial pressure results in mobile phone addiction, anger, and mental stress in children as young as eight to ten years old. He notes that because families now have fewer children and higher spending capacity, parents are easily manipulated into fulfilling every demand, often fueled by hidden signals in animated content designed to activate specific desires. He emphasizes that greed and violence go hand in hand; when someone views another as a source of profit, they inevitably cause them harm. Addressing the issue of bullying in schools, Acharya Prashant points out that it is a natural consequence of the violent and aggressive content children consume on social media. He criticizes parents for being naive about the 'harmless' cartoons their children watch, which often depict characters being harmed or deceived for entertainment. He argues that if children are constantly exposed to such behavior, they will inevitably replicate it in their own social circles. He suggests that the lack of true understanding and wisdom leads to a form of 'maternal affection' that can also become violent when it seeks to protect or provide for one's own child at the expense of others. Finally, Acharya Prashant addresses the resentment some people feel toward organizations that charge for spiritual or truthful work. He explains that people who have compromised their own integrity for money often feel jealous of those living a truthful life while also sustaining themselves financially. This jealousy manifests as a demand for free services to 'starve' the truthful person or institution. He clarifies that the contributions made to his foundation are essential for providing technical services and maintaining the organization. He advises that since most people are influenced by external factors, they should at least ensure they do not block positive influences and remain open to guidance that encourages right living.
