Acharya Prashant begins by stating that while the Upanishads are being discussed, a person's mind is occupied with base thoughts of food and a cot, calling such a person inferior. He generalizes this by saying that not just one person, but man himself is inferior. He refutes the notion of inherent human dignity, responding to the hypothetical claim, "We are the children of God, don't we have any dignity at all?" with a firm "No." He asserts, "We are not children of God, we are children of the jungle. Come to your senses." He explains that humans were not created with great affection by any God but have evolved from gorillas and orangutans. The speaker argues that one should look at their own actions and thoughts to see the truth. He asks, "Do you really feel that there is something divine within us? That some God created us? Who are you deceiving?" He suggests it is fortunate that most of our base actions remain confined to the mind. If they were manifested, there would be no misconception about our origins. It is the fear of law, police, punishment, and society that keeps our animalistic nature in check, creating a facade of dignity. He proposes a thought experiment: if a device could display our thoughts on a wall, would we still claim to be children of God? The ego, he says, pats itself on the back, claiming divine parentage. Spirituality, according to the speaker, is necessary precisely because our beginnings are flawed and we are not inherently high. He urges the acceptance of this fact, acknowledging it may be unpleasant. He states, "Our birth is in the netherworld. To go to the heights, one must become a stranger to that bottom." Height is possible only if one can move away from oneself. Anyone who does not achieve heights in life fails because of their attachment to their innate, base nature. They are attached to what they received at birth and do not want to leave it. Addressing the point that laws are also a product of this "gorilla-man," the speaker clarifies that laws are not meant to elevate a gorilla to pure consciousness. Instead, they serve to civilize the gorilla on the outside, making it wear a shirt and pants, use a laptop, and speak politely in court. However, the inner animal, ready to lie for its own stomach, remains. The law is blind to consciousness; it only judges behavior and actions, not the intention or the source of the action. The law is for the average person and fails at the extremes of both the hardened criminal and the truly spiritual saint. A true person follows Truth, not just the law, and can therefore be seen as a threat by the legal system.
