Acharya Prashant responds to a question about the common person's responsibility to uphold Dharma, given that historically, this has been the work of a few special individuals. He begins by cautioning against using the label of "special people" as an excuse to shirk one's own duty. To consider oneself "common" and therefore exempt from responsibility for great tasks like upholding Dharma, spirituality, or truth is a form of escapism. He clarifies that a person becomes special not by achieving great things, but by never shying away from their responsibility, regardless of the outcome. The primary act is to do what one must; doing so is what makes one special. For the common person who feels they cannot do much, Acharya Prashant advises that their first duty is to not become an obstacle for those who are working for truth. If possible, they should offer support and contribution, and ideally, walk shoulder-to-shoulder with them. He recites a poem to illustrate the hypocrisy of admiring struggle from a distance—praising the resilience of a lamp or an ant—while in reality, somewhere a real lamp is dying and a real person is losing their solitary battle. This highlights the gap between passive appreciation and active participation. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that his words are not meant to simply be heard; they must be translated into action (karma). His teachings are structured to become intolerable if not acted upon. The meaning of his words deepens and changes for the listener as they take action in their lives. He explains that one cannot listen to him for years without undergoing change. There are only two possibilities: either one progresses on the path through action, or one will be compelled to move away. He expresses a particular problem with those who maintain a "safe distance" by listening without acting, as they are the most deluded.
