Acharya Prashant addresses a question about how to respond to the argument that God created a world where one species must kill another to survive, thus justifying non-veganism. He begins by challenging the foundational premise, "if God has created us," labeling it as the biggest possible hypothesis one can entertain. He questions why a student of science would operate on such unproven assumptions rather than on testing, questioning, and probing. He asserts that one cannot answer this question without first putting aside the concept of God, which is often used to justify actions through appeals to a great book that supposedly sanctions the slaughter of animals. Instead of a divine origin, Acharya Prashant presents an evolutionary perspective, stating, "Behind us is not a God, behind us is a chimpanzee." He explains that humanity comes from a "scary jungle" and, before that, a "muddy puddle" where life began through a concentration of chemicals and heat, not from a glorious God. This evolutionary path is established through theoretical and archaeological proof. He emphasizes that humans are still evolving and are not a finished product created by a divine entity. The core of his explanation lies in the distinction between humans and other animals. While humans are *coming from* the jungle, they are not *still in* the jungle. Other animals, however, remain in the jungle and are governed by its law, which is Prakriti (nature). This law dictates a life of self-interest, survival, and propagation of the species. Since humans have emerged from the jungle, they are free from the obligation to follow its ways. He argues that if one wishes to emulate animals, they should do so completely, forgoing clothes, marriage, and even brushing their teeth, as animals do none of these things. Ultimately, Acharya Prashant defines a human being not by their physical form but by the height of their consciousness. To be truly human is to exhibit qualities that transcend nature, such as compassion, which is the foundation of veganism. He clarifies that love and compassion are exclusive to a heightened consciousness and are not the same as the biological conditioning and attachment seen in animals. The entire purpose of human civilization and emerging from the jungle is to create an environment conducive to elevating consciousness. Therefore, to justify actions based on animal behavior is to deny one's own humanity and the potential for love, joy, and understanding.
