Acharya Prashant addresses the distress caused by witnessing animal cruelty, explaining that while rescue efforts are well-intentioned, they often serve to provide personal emotional consolation rather than solving the systemic issue. He points out that the gap between the number of animals saved and those slaughtered is continuously widening. The root cause of this violence is internal ignorance, which is not a theoretical concept but a real force manifesting as exploitation. He emphasizes that spiritual transformation is far more effective than localized rescue missions because a truly spiritual person indirectly saves millions of animals by removing the causes of exploitation from their life and influence.
