Acharya Prashant explains that the fundamental difference between human beings and animals, such as buffalos, is the human instinct to know, reflect, and understand. While a buffalo lives and dies without questioning its existence or seeking liberation from ignorance, humans possess an inherent urge to rise and realize the truth. He emphasizes that this shared quest for liberation and understanding should be the true basis of human community, society, and policy. He argues that unity founded on superficial factors like language or physical features is unsustainable and exclusionary. Instead, a society should be built on the unifying principle of liberation, which necessitates transparency in systems, accessible education, and a focus on continuous learning. He notes that even animals do not exhibit the same level of discrimination based on physical appearance that humans often do, suggesting that humans must ground their laws and customs in the shared human drive for knowledge and realization.
