Acharya Prashant encourages the questioner to spread his message in any way she can, using whatever resources she has. He then explains that his perceived strictness is not his inherent nature. He shares that he was a very shy child who disliked speaking and preferred books. He recounts an incident from his school days when he was supposed to perform on stage as a rabbit but was so frightened that another child had to take his place. He clarifies that he first went on stage at the age of 14 or 15. The speaker states that the harshness people see in him today is a gift from his youth and the world, and it is not his true self. He explains that when he is on the stage, it is not him speaking. In his personal life, especially with strangers, he is very quiet and finds it difficult to talk to people he doesn't know. He can speak to the audience because they show him love and respect by traveling from afar to listen to him. He justifies his forceful approach by stating that he perceives an emergency in the world, leaving no time for sweet and coaxing words. He says that scolding people is a loss for him as well, as it causes him stress, which doctors have advised him to avoid. He is compelled to be harsh out of necessity, not because he enjoys it. He poses a question: if someone is harming themselves by drinking, would you speak to them sweetly? He concludes that if the world were a beautiful place, he would sing love songs, but he does not see that time yet.
