Acharya Prashant explains that being born in the human form is inherently associated with violence and killing, which is why saints often loathed this form and sought liberation. Unlike animals, who act out of physical conditioning and lack the choice to be violent or non-violent, human beings possess a choosing consciousness. Violence is defined not merely as killing, but as making choices that favor bondage over liberation. True non-violence is the consistent choice in favor of liberation, driven by a consciousness that empathizes with itself and its own suffering. This self-love and self-respect are essential prerequisites for seeking freedom from bondage. He further describes empathy as a radial force that spreads outward from the center of one's personality. The deeper one's self-love and desire for liberation, the wider the circle of empathy becomes, eventually encompassing other humans, mammals, birds, and even insects. If a person lacks compassion for other conscious beings, it indicates a lack of self-love and a very small circle of empathy, which ultimately hinders their own liberation. By causing harm to others, one effectively harms themselves and remains trapped in suffering, as the consequences of such actions perpetuate one's own bondage. Acharya Prashant concludes by addressing the practical limitations of the human form, noting that absolute non-killing is impossible as even basic survival involves the destruction of microscopic life. However, the duty of a human being is to minimize killing as much as possible. While one cannot reach absolute zero violence through personal effort, one must elevate their consciousness to the maximum limit allowed by the human form. Reaching this limit makes one eligible for grace and the miracle of final liberation. He dismisses absolutist arguments that equate eating plants with eating animals, emphasizing that while some killing is a physical compulsion, eating meat is a choice of pure violence that should be avoided for one's own spiritual well-being.
