Acharya Prashant addresses a questioner who, after a successful career in AI and moving abroad, has dedicated his life to animal welfare and veganism but feels discouraged by the slow pace of change. Acharya Prashant explains that human cruelty towards animals has intensified over the last few centuries, especially with the advent of industrial power. He emphasizes that significant global shifts occur over long timescales. While eighty years may seem long to an individual, it is a mere blink in the history of the Earth. He advises that if a noble cause takes five hundred years to succeed, it should still be considered a quick victory in the larger context of existence. He cites historical examples like Gautama Buddha, Adi Shankaracharya, and the Sikh Gurus to illustrate that revolutionary changes require the effort of multiple generations. He points out that Buddha’s teachings gained widespread recognition long after his lifetime through the efforts of later scholars like Nagarjuna. Acharya Prashant notes that things which gain instant popularity usually cater to existing human desires, whereas movements that challenge deep-seated habits, like veganism, naturally face resistance and take time. He encourages the questioner to focus on the purity of effort rather than immediate results. Regarding the urgency of climate change and the environmental impact of meat consumption, Acharya Prashant acknowledges the dire situation but maintains that the momentum of human habits is difficult to reverse instantly. He suggests that veganism is the 'duty of the age' and will eventually succeed, even if humanity faces significant destruction before realizing its necessity. He concludes by urging the questioner to work with total dedication and sincerity, treating their work as a seed that may sprout long after they are gone, without becoming discouraged by the current statistics of animal exploitation.
