Can a Vegan Diet Reshape the Relationship Between Man and Environment?

Question: Acharya Ji, do you think that bringing the focus to our diet is going to change anything?

Acharya Prashant: In what sense?

Questioner: Do you see us heading in the direction towards this perfection, completion along with our diet?

Acharya Prashant: I am seeing that.

You see, it is not for nothing that the Buddhas of this world have been speaking, walking, striving. On one hand is the wave of the intellect, productionism, consumerism, and on the other hand is also the entire stream of Mystics, Saints, people who respond to the call of the Heart.

You look at the last few centuries, even the declaration of rights of man came just three hundred years back. Then came the declaration of rights of slaves. And in the last century came the declaration of rights of women.

I am seeing that in the current century, we will see a very clear declaration of a new relationship between man and environment, climate change will catalyse that new relationship – the threat of climate change.
