Description

Acharya Prashant explains that the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads are philosophical documents of the highest order, focusing on the reality of man as the truth itself. He emphasizes that the central teaching of the Vedas, known as Vedanta, asserts that a human being is already infinite, total, and complete. Therefore, one should not act out of a sense of incompleteness or a desire to gain something, but rather from a point of preexisting perfection. When one realizes this totality, relationships are based on love rather than possession or utility. He argues that a true Hindu, understanding this godliness, would maintain a harmonious relationship with all existence and would not view animals as resources to be exploited.
