Acharya Prashant explains that the fascination humans feel toward babies is a biological ploy of Nature (Prakriti) to ensure the survival of species. He notes that babies of all animals, including pigs and snakes, appear cute to prevent them from being destroyed while they are defenseless. This fascination is not due to any extraordinary quality in the child but is a result of biological and hormonal conditioning. He critiques the obsession with procreation, stating that it often serves to legitimize sexual desire and is rooted in being body-centered rather than wisdom-centered. He points out the shortsightedness of parents who focus on the brief period of a child's infancy while ignoring the long-term environmental burden a full-grown individual places on the planet for decades. Furthermore, Acharya Prashant argues that in the modern context, the greatest act of non-violence (Ahimsa) is to refrain from reproducing. He challenges the societal and religious norms that view procreation as a sacred obligation or a means of fulfillment, labeling the habitual drive to reproduce as a form of medieval ritual or superstition. He asserts that maternity is often an act of great violence against the world that goes unrecognized by intellectuals. Finally, he urges a deeper inquiry into the meaning of life, suggesting that life is not merely a breathing mass of flesh. He concludes that once one truly understands what life is, they will become more interested in life itself and much less interested in the act of giving birth.
