Description

Acharya Prashant clarifies that the Bhagavad Gita does not mandate dairy consumption to follow the teachings of Shri Krishna. He emphasizes that one should focus on the essential and timeless aspects of Shri Krishna's message rather than time-bound habits. He argues that the relationship between a human mother and her child is fundamentally based on animalistic attachment rather than conscious love, making it identical to the bond between a cow and her calf. By acknowledging that humans are animals in their biological attachments, one can see the hypocrisy in respecting human motherhood while disrespecting the bond between a cow and her calf. He criticizes the artificial division created between humans and animals, noting that they are only different when a human raises their consciousness through spirituality. He dismisses the common justification that humans are doing cows a favor by taking 'extra' milk, calling such arguments imaginative and false. He points out the absurdity of adult humans consuming milk, which is a diet meant for infants, suggesting that this dependency reflects a lack of mental and spiritual maturity. He concludes that stealing food intended for actual babies is a violent act that should not be overlooked.
