Question: Acharya Ji, a few minutes back in the session you said that in today’s times we will not approach God to Love him. We will approach Him to stab Him. You also said that animal operates from the centre of prakriti (nature), and the Saint operates from the centre of Aatma. And we operate from buddhi (intellect).
What is it that is so lowly in us that will make us do so? Is it this buddhi (intellect) which has become a hindrance in Liberation?
Acharya Prashant Ji: Man has become more empowered in an external sense, than he ever was in his history. That is what is peculiar about this age. Man was never so powerful with respect to his environment as he is today.
No virus can harm you, no bacteria can harm you. There are no plagues, no black-deaths. You can produce as many objects as you want. You can order them at the click of a button. Everything is home-delivered.
Was it ever so good for man?
Today you have reasons to feel omnipotent.
Tomorrow you can have fast-food delivered on Mars as well. Man never had it so swift, and so easy, and facile. What size do you want? What colour do you want? What kind of customisation is needed? Just express your desire and it will be fulfilled. Was it ever this way in human history? Today it is.
