Acharya Prashant explains that while humans have evolved biologically, there has been no fundamental inward evolution. He argues that human instincts remain identical to those of primitive life forms like the amoeba. Both humans and amoebas are driven by the same basic desires: existence, reproduction, and the acquisition of territory. He points out that despite our advanced technology, language, and intellect, we use these tools primarily to fulfill the same biological functions as animals. For instance, he notes that human songs and language are often just sophisticated ways to facilitate mating, which an amoeba achieves more efficiently without such tools. He further asserts that human superiority is a myth because we often live lives that are worse than those of animals. While a dog or an amoeba lives according to its biological design, humans possess the unique potential for liberation and wisdom but fail to materialize it. He describes this potential as a 'phantom' or 'maya' if it is not expressed in one's actual life. Using a cricket analogy, he explains that a top-order batsman who scores poorly is worse than a tail-ender who meets his low average; similarly, a human who lives like an animal is a failure because they have failed their one duty: to realize their potential for the true self, or Atma. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that wisdom, not age or experience, is the only path to transcending biological limitations. He dismisses the idea that being a senior citizen or having great ancestors brings one closer to truth. He concludes that the human condition is unique because only humans experience the inner strife and angst that comes from not being content with the body. This potential for freedom is the human's special urge, and failing to fulfill it results in a life that is fundamentally more disgraceful than that of an animal.
