Acharya Prashant explains that there are different types of suffering and sins, focusing on two primary categories. The first type of sin is personal and conscious, where an individual directly chooses an action that causes harm, such as snatching food from an animal. The second, more dangerous type is systemic and indirect. This occurs when human actions, like industrial pollution or overpopulation leading to deforestation, cause immense suffering to living beings without the perpetrator even realizing their role in the injustice. He emphasizes that modern civilization is built on a foundation of violence, where even basic activities like agriculture, infrastructure development, and consumption are inextricably linked to the destruction of life and the environment.
