Acharya Prashant explains that humanity has lost the sense of sacredness, which he defines as recognizing something so vast and great that one should not even attempt to touch or exploit it. He argues that both those who consume nature and those who engage in activism often lack this sacredness, as activism implies a sense of superiority over what is being saved. True sacredness arises only from self-knowledge, which reveals how small and vulnerable human beings truly are. He emphasizes that humans are products of specific environmental conditions—such as atmospheric pressure, temperature, and humidity—and that altering these conditions through climate change is essentially self-destruction.
