Acharya Prashant explains that human behavior often mirrors that of animals, particularly in the obsession with territoriality and self-preservation. He points out that while humans use sophisticated means to mark and maintain their physical and psychological spaces, the underlying purpose remains the same as that of a dog: the continuation of one's own existence, comfort, and security. He argues that biological evolution, age, and experience do not lead to liberation; only wisdom can take a person beyond the limitations of the body and the self. He emphasizes that no age is too early or too late to seek wisdom. Furthermore, he describes the unique human condition as being biologically designed such that the consciousness attached to the body seeks freedom from it. This special urge distinguishes humans from other animals, who remain content with their bodily existence. While this potential for liberation is a human superiority, it also results in unique human struggles such as angst, tension, and neurosis, which other animals do not experience.
