Acharya Prashant states that an almost frightening image of spirituality is created in the minds of children, adolescents, and youth. He recalls that when he used to visit colleges and talk to young people, some would stand up, trembling, and ask what would happen to the world if everyone became spiritual. He clarifies that they are not asking a question but are expressing a pre-existing fear. They have already been told that being spiritual is something dangerous, something that only a few people in a thousand should pursue, otherwise, there will be a problem. This fear is instilled from a young age, similar to how a mother might tell a crying child to be quiet or a 'baba' (ascetic) will come. Spirituality is portrayed as dangerous. The speaker contrasts the current state of the world, which lacks spiritual people, with a hypothetical world where everyone is spiritual. He asserts that whatever the world would be like if people became spiritual, it would certainly be better than the current state. He believes it would be a very, very beautiful world if everyone were spiritual. However, terror is instilled in the minds of children and youth. This fear manifests in relationships; for instance, if a husband decides to attend a spiritual gathering (satsang), his wife might scream and fall at his feet, questioning what she did wrong for him to go to satsang and seek knowledge. She feels she is providing him with the pleasures of ignorance, so why is he turning towards knowledge? The same insecurity arises in a man if his wife moves towards satsang, fearing she is slipping from his grasp. Acharya Prashant explains that knowledge is harmful to those whose vested interests are tied to ignorance. Unfortunately, for most people, their interests are indeed linked with ignorance, which is why they dislike it when light enters someone's life. He gives the example of how youth define friendship. A friend is someone with whom they can have fun, who supports them in fights without questioning right or wrong, who helps them cheat in exams, or with whom they can drink beer. He never heard a student say their friend is someone who gives them knowledge or light. This same flawed understanding is applied to choosing partners. A partner is chosen based on who can engage in the most worthless and nonsensical conversations for hours. The criteria for choosing a friend, a boyfriend, or a girlfriend remain the same. As you gain knowledge, the value of those who bring darkness into your life will decrease, and the value of those who bring light will increase.
