Acharya Prashant explains that the dairy industry is driven by human greed and exploitation. He argues that even without direct evidence, one can understand the cruelty involved by observing the nature of the human ego, which seeks to extract maximum profit from any resource. He highlights that humans are the only species that consumes the milk of another species and continues to do so long after infancy, despite lacking the enzymes to digest it. He clarifies that while Shri Krishna consumed milk as a child, this was a time-bound custom of his era and not a timeless spiritual instruction. The only timeless aspect of Shri Krishna's life is the Bhagavad Gita, which does not mandate dairy consumption. He emphasizes that true non-violence must be rooted in spirituality and Vedanta rather than imported Western ideologies. He asserts that the vegan movement in India will only succeed if it aligns with the country's spiritual heritage, which views all life as interconnected. He critiques the vegan community for sometimes distancing itself from religion, explaining that while traditions can be corrupt, core spirituality is the only force capable of purifying the human mind of its animalistic tendencies to consume and exploit. He describes animal agriculture as a 'third world war' causing catastrophic environmental damage, including massive methane emissions and deforestation. Acharya Prashant defines non-violence as the state of being free from the internal sense of incompleteness that leads to the exploitation of others. He argues that as long as humans draw their identity from the external world, they will remain violent. He also discusses the concept of antinatalism, suggesting that bringing more children into a world of suffering is a form of violence. Ultimately, he posits that the solution to global problems lies in internal human transformation. By raising one's consciousness through spiritual practice, one naturally moves toward compassion and veganism without the need for external imposition.
