Acharya Prashant addresses the profound distress caused by witnessing global suffering, specifically the mass slaughter of animals, environmental destruction, and the climate crisis. He acknowledges the grim reality of animal husbandry, water scarcity, and pollution, noting that for a conscious person, the world can feel like a living hell. He explains that while it is natural to feel guilt or despair when one is aware of such atrocities, one must treat joy and mental well-being as a duty or a religious obligation. If an individual allows the world's misery to overwhelm them completely, they lose the capacity to fight against that very suffering or contribute to any solution.
