Description

Acharya Prashant addresses the argument that veganism is unnatural because vitamin B12 is primarily found in animal sources. He acknowledges that veganism is indeed unnatural but questions why human life must be strictly natural. He points out that many fundamental aspects of human civilization, such as marriage, language, clothing, countries, and vehicles, do not exist in the jungle and are therefore unnatural. He argues that people selectively use the 'unnatural' argument against veganism while accepting other unnatural conveniences. He emphasizes that veganism should not be chosen based on nature or physical laws, but rather on compassion. He clarifies that he is not a naturalist and that spirituality is about transcending physical nature. He concludes that the goal of transcending nature is not merely to reach the intellect, but to reach the truth where compassion resides.
