Acharya Prashant: Rabbits are merely Prakriti , so they are conditioned to procreate.
If we want this generation to not procreate, what must be taught to them?
That you are not just Prakriti .
This is the education that you need to disseminate.
Rabbits will reproduce because they are just Prakriti and that’s what Prakriti wants, more copies of the rabbit’s DNA; because more copies mean more chances of survival, it is like taking backup of a hard disk, if there are two copies then chances of survival are double, one copy might get lost, then the other copy survives, and that’s why the rabbits procreate so copiously, so frequently because they are small and defenseless. They know that a lot of the baby rabbits will die, so a lot of them are born so that at least a few will survive, thereby, the species continue to just exist, existence is all that the Prakriti wants.
Teach the kids that they are not just Prakriti .
Teach the boys, and teach the girls, teach them that they do not exist to dance to the tunes of the body and the brain. Teach them that they are not chemicals to react to other chemicals called hormones. Unless you teach them this beyondness, every successive generation would be heavier, bulkier, more numerous, and more ignorant than the preceding one.
