Acharya Prashant explains that a human being works not just to fill their stomach, but because they seek something more. He asserts that a life lived solely for the sake of sustenance—whether for oneself or one's family—is no different from the life of an animal. Just as a cow, monkey, or lion acts to satisfy hunger, a human who lives only for consumption remains at an animalistic level. He emphasizes that the true purpose of human action must be liberation. He argues that even those earning high salaries are merely consuming; while a poor person consumes through their mouth, a wealthy person consumes through their eyes and ears by purchasing luxuries like massive televisions. He points out that there is no fundamental difference between an ant and an elephant if both are driven only by the desire for food and sweetness. Acharya Prashant criticizes those whose entire lives and dreams are centered on consumption and future enjoyment, stating that living merely as a consumer is a lowly existence that ignores the unique potential of being human.
