Acharya Prashant addresses a student's question about the dilemma of choosing between high-paying corporate jobs that contribute to climate change and a more environmentally conscious path. He explains that the pressure to accept lucrative job offers does not come from an external 'flow' but from our own innate, basic, and old physical tendencies. He likens this to a greedy child, noting that even a little kid is greedy. The fat paychecks offered by companies appeal directly to this inherent greed. He elaborates that when people start earning, their first instinct is not to uplift their consciousness or deepen their understanding, but to improve their physical circumstances. They buy better clothes for their body, a car to house their body, and a well-furnished apartment. They give money to their physical parents who gave them their physical body. All these actions, he points out, are in the domain of physicality. We are born with a tendency to value our physicality far more than goodness, and money is something that appeals to our physicality. This is our physical constitution, the way we are born. We are born with the tendency to value our physicality a lot. Acharya Prashant draws a parallel between human behavior and the animal kingdom. Every animal is born valuing physicality over consciousness. The human baby is the closest example to understand our own condition; you have to push a baby to go to school, but nobody pushes them to the dining table or to sleep. This is because we are born with our animalistic tendencies. He states that while we may have come out of the jungle, the jungle lives within us. Our cities are an extension of the jungle, and our culture is an extension of our animalistic tendencies. The competition for the biggest job offer is likened to animals in the jungle competing for the largest share of a kill. However, he emphasizes that humans are unique because they are not only animalistic; they possess a consciousness that can transcend animalism and aspires for higher things. This consciousness has a vague restlessness and understands that merely satisfying the body cannot be the purpose of life. It searches for answers, but often turns to society, parents, teachers, and the media, which provide the wrong answer: that the purpose of life is societal respect, which is tied to a fat pay package. This reinforces the animalistic drive. He urges the listener to realize that they are not born to simply live and die like an animal and that the mad rush for material success is a manifestation of this 'ancient jungle' at play.
