Acharya Prashant explains that the central teaching of the Vedic literature, specifically the Upanishads, is that man is the truth itself and inherently complete. He emphasizes that to be a Hindu is to live from a point of preexisting totality and perfection, rather than acting out of a sense of incompleteness or a desire to gain something. When one realizes their true nature as God himself, they cannot view other beings as resources or means for exploitation. A relationship based on love does not depend on what the other provides; therefore, a true understanding of the Vedas precludes treating animals like cows as mere objects for milk or slaughter. He further discusses how human nature is to know effortlessly and to move toward the infinite. He argues that the common practice of using scriptures to justify the consumption of dairy is a result of deliberate misinterpretation by the ego to suit its own desires. Acharya Prashant points out the biological inconsistency of humans consuming the milk of another species long after infancy, suggesting that if nature intended for humans to consume milk for decades, it would have been provided by the human mother. He concludes that the persistent craving for milk in adulthood is a deviation from nature's intelligence and reflects an infantile psychological state.
