Acharya Prashant explains that the situation where unrighteous individuals hold power has always been the case, and solutions have been found depending on the specifics of the time and age. He cites the classical duel between Shri Ram and Ravan, noting that Ravan was the superpower of his time, possessing immense resources like a palace of gold. The initial approach is always to attempt to reform the unrighteous power-holder. However, when this attempt at enlightenment and reform fails, which it usually does, a righteous struggle or "Dharmyuddh" becomes necessary. This, he explains, is why the Bhagavad Gita, the most important scripture of the Sanatan fold, is set on a battlefield. Applying this principle to the Mahabharata, he points out that the Pandava side was significantly weaker in terms of resources and numbers compared to their adversaries. Attempts were made by figures like Vidur, Bhishma, and even Shri Krishna to reason with Duryodhan and bring about peace, but these efforts failed. When such peaceful means do not work, one must figure out how to accumulate resources and develop the tactical wherewithal to confront the enemy. Then, there is no other way but to take them on. In the modern context of wealth, Acharya Prashant states that in an ideal society that works on consciousness, riches would belong to those who have the consciousness to utilize them properly. The extent of resources at a person's disposal should be proportional to the depth of their consciousness. Conversely, when people with ordinary or below-ordinary levels of consciousness command vast resources and power, that society is bound to decline, a situation he says we are witnessing today. This imbalance is "Adharma" (unrighteousness) in the social sense. He concludes that this is precisely what Shri Krishna sought to avoid. The conflict was not merely a family feud but a matter of preventing the powerful kingdom of Hastinapur and its resources from falling into the undeserving hands of Duryodhan, which would have had devastating consequences for the entire subcontinent. Therefore, Dharma had to be upheld, the battle had to be fought, and the Gita had to be narrated. This principle is needed in every era because Maya is continuously at work, ensuring that undeserving and even evil-minded people accumulate wealth and power. When this is observed, one must remember the Gita's instruction and not be shy of a good battle.
