Acharya Prashant explains that modern man is neither a purely natural being living by the laws of the jungle nor a saint living fully in the truth. Instead, today's man is a creation of his own intellect and the industrialized world. While animals operate from nature and saints from the soul, the average person operates from the intellect. Therefore, the intellect must be used in a godly way to solve the problems it has created. He argues that if we live in an artificial world of houses, clothes, and schools, we should not reject veganism on the grounds that it is 'unnatural.' Spirituality is not about returning to nature but about transcending it to reach a state of compassion.
