Acharya Prashant begins by citing a couplet from Kabir Saheb that questions the fate of those who consume animals, emphasizing that pain is felt equally by all living beings. He challenges the religious justification for animal sacrifice, arguing that if killing an animal is believed to grant it entry into heaven, then the person performing the sacrifice should logically offer their own life or the lives of their loved ones for the same benefit. He asserts that such practices are not rooted in true religion but are often a result of ignorance and the desire for sensory gratification.
