Acharya Prashant explains that Dharma is uniquely applicable to humans because, unlike animals who follow their inherent nature without conflict, humans experience a fundamental restlessness and a search for meaning. This restlessness is not a result of past actions but is rooted in the human physical and mental structure. Dharma is the process of addressing this inner lack and seeking the completeness, peace, and truth that the mind deeply craves. It involves giving oneself what is truly needed rather than being distracted by worldly products that fail to provide lasting satisfaction. He emphasizes that the search for truth is the essence of a religious life, which requires both learning from the wise and the objective observation of one's own life experiences.
