Description

Acharya Prashant addresses the inherent insensitivity and animalistic nature of human beings, noting that a lack of love for life and consciousness leads to cruelty toward both animals and vulnerable people. He highlights the hypocrisy of a society that uses sophisticated technology to run slaughterhouses while simultaneously neglecting the destitute or wishing for their removal. He argues that our intellect has become a tool for the inner beast because we lack self-knowledge. This lack of compassion is evident in how people casually consume animal flesh while ignoring the suffering of living beings around them.
