Description

Acharya Prashant explains that the violence inherent in human nature originates from the animalistic tendencies within us, which can only be addressed through core spiritual teachings. He argues that veganism often fails because it distances itself from spirituality, whereas true spirituality naturally leads to non-violence and compassion. He points out that many people lose faith in spirituality because they confuse it with exploitative traditions co-opted by selfish interests. However, he emphasizes that spirituality is about looking inward, purifying the mind, and taking responsibility for one's own animalistic tendencies like greed and consumption.
