Acharya Prashant responds to a question about why employers want to treat their employees like slaves by turning the question back on the questioner and society at large. He points out that people who work in our homes are also just doing a job for money, yet we rarely treat them as equals or allow them to sit with us. This behavior is often rooted in a deep-seated social hierarchy. He notes that domestic helpers are often from so-called lower castes and are poor, and are thus exploited on the basis of both class and caste. He gives the example of seeing a family in a restaurant enjoying a meal while their young nanny stands aside holding their child, highlighting the stark visual signs of this inequality: the girl is poor, dark-skinned, and thin, while the couple is often fair-skinned. This behavior, he explains, is a cycle: just as we treat those below us, our bosses treat us similarly. This phenomenon is described as "graded exploitation," a system prevalent in India where every caste has another caste above it and tolerates their behavior because they, in turn, have a caste below them to exploit. Even those at the very bottom of this hierarchy have someone to exploit: women. The speaker emphasizes that the day you stop tolerating the mistreatment of your domestic help, you will also stop tolerating your boss's misbehavior. He quotes Guru Nanak Dev Ji's teaching, "Nirbhau, Nirvair" (fearless, without enmity), explaining that one who is not suppressed will not suppress others, and one who is not afraid will not frighten others. The true person is one who cannot tolerate exploitation, regardless of being right-wing or left-wing. Acharya Prashant further illustrates this by contrasting how one's behavior changes in a five-star hotel versus a roadside eatery. In the former, one is polite, while at the latter, one might be dismissive. He connects this to the broader economic and political system, citing the example of youth spending a decade preparing for government jobs. He argues this is a mechanism for governments to keep the youth occupied, as they cannot provide enough jobs. Instead of jobs, they offer the preparation for jobs, which prevents rebellion. This system, including the coaching industry, thrives on exploitation without adding real value. He concludes by stating that we are all equal partners in this exploitative system. The day we stop inflicting pain on others, including animals, we will stop receiving pain ourselves. He cites saints like Kabir Saheb, who spoke out against the exploitation of all beings, reminding us that the pain of all creatures is one.
