Acharya Prashant explains that duality is the fundamental feeling of being incomplete and separate from the world, which leads individuals to exploit nature in a desperate search for happiness. He describes climate change as a crisis of consumption driven by human agony and illusion. Because people feel restless and hurt, they resort to plundering resources, killing animals, and destroying forests to achieve a fleeting sense of satisfaction. This cycle of consumption is fueled by a wrong philosophy of life that equates success with the ability to consume endlessly.
