Acharya Prashant responds to a question about the ultimate goal of life and the difference between humans and animals. He begins by turning the premise on its head, suggesting that if there is no difference between a human and an animal, it should be a matter of concern for the animal. For a human to be like a dog, he sarcastically states, should be a matter of glory. He compares this to a beggar claiming no difference between himself and a millionaire, which would be a matter of pride for the beggar, not the millionaire. He elaborates by pointing out that he has never had a dialogue with dogs because they don't need it; they are wiser. He then systematically addresses the questioner's personal issues—such as fear of public speaking, frustration, and worry about the future—by contrasting them with a dog's existence. Dogs do not get frustrated by seeing the wealthy; in fact, they bark more at bigger cars. They do not worry about the future or feel inferior, even a poor street dog sits with dignity in the mud and would not sell its freedom for a leash. In contrast, humans are plagued by such anxieties and feelings of inadequacy. He questions who is truly better, the dog or the human. Acharya Prashant asserts that all the supposed greatness of human vices like rape, theft, deceit, stress, and high blood pressure are reserved for humans, not animals. He argues that the idea of needing a goal to be superior to animals is a deeply ingrained conditioning. The only real goal, if one must exist, is to become free from this conditioning and the useless garbage of thoughts and beliefs that have been imposed upon us. The aim is to become clean and empty. Life is happening in the present moment, leaving no time for a future goal. The ultimate objective is to be free from the very inferiority complex that compels one to seek a goal in the first place.
