Acharya Prashant explains that most humans are naturally programmed to follow their physical instincts and tendencies, such as fear and self-preservation. He clarifies that being 'established in nature' means the body performs its functions, like eating when hungry or sleeping when tired, without the interference of the ego. Enlightenment is described as this state where the ego no longer imposes rules, desires, or artificial schedules on the body. The ego is the entity that creates suffering by identifying with the body's actions; without ego, the body's activities do not cause distress. He distinguishes human consumption from animal consumption, noting that while animals eat for bodily needs, humans often consume to satisfy a restless ego, which leads to environmental destruction like climate change. Addressing the concept of choice, Acharya Prashant emphasizes that while we may have right knowledge on the surface of our minds, deeper tendencies often control our actions. He uses the analogy of a bus where the driver represents our core tendencies and the passengers represent acquired knowledge; unless the right knowledge becomes the driver, our lives remain unchanged. He asserts that one does not need to know the 'right' path to begin; simply avoiding what is clearly wrong is sufficient for a good life. Regarding the distress caused by witnessing animal cruelty, he warns that grief is a trap of illusion that drains energy. True compassion should not manifest as paralyzing sorrow but as decisive action and work to rectify the situation.
