Acharya Prashant explains that empowerment without inner consciousness is dangerous and destructive. He argues that giving power, rights, or technology to someone who lacks self-knowledge is like putting a sword in the hands of a monkey or a drunkard. He observes that while modern society provides tools like the internet, money, and nuclear energy, these are often misused for animalistic instincts or violence because the internal state of the human being remains undeveloped. He emphasizes that true empowerment must begin with spiritual awakening and internal light, rather than just external rights or material independence. Addressing the issue of women's empowerment, Acharya Prashant distinguishes between popular feminism and spiritual liberation. He states that while feminism often seeks gender equality—which he describes as the desire to have the same freedom to commit follies as men—spirituality seeks liberation from gender identity itself. He asserts that as long as a woman identifies primarily with her body, she remains bound by nature and prone to exploitation. He challenges the narrative of women as mere victims of patriarchy, suggesting that many choose the comfort of domesticity out of self-interest. He concludes that individuals must stop playing the victim card and take full responsibility for their own lives and consciousness.
