Acharya Prashant clarifies that the materialistic approach of developed nations is not inherently wrong, but rather incomplete. According to Vedanta, education must consist of two essential components: material knowledge and inner knowledge. He explains that ignoring material education leads to suffering and vulnerability, noting that India historically suffered because it did not pay adequate attention to material advancement. He cites the Upanishads to emphasize that while a lack of spiritual education leads to a bad state, a lack of worldly knowledge leads to an even worse state. He points out that the British were able to defeat larger Indian armies partly due to their superior technology, illustrating that material strength is necessary to preserve freedom and security. At the same time, Acharya Prashant highlights that the West is currently suffering because it neglected inner knowledge, leading to global issues like the climate crisis. He argues that without material knowledge, one falls prey to external superstitions and enslavement by others. Conversely, without inner knowledge, one becomes a slave to their own internal tendencies, thoughts, and emotions. He concludes that to avoid all forms of slavery and to become a true winner who does not fear even death, one must possess both material and spiritual education. Educational institutions should therefore integrate both aspects to ensure complete development.
