Acharya Prashant argues that while religions often condemn killing as violence, they fail to recognize the significant violence inherent in procreation today. He suggests that the greatest act of non-violence in the modern era is to refrain from reproducing. He points out the irony in how society quickly deplores physical assault but treats pregnancy with extreme gentleness and tolerance, despite the long-term environmental impact of a child. He questions why procreation continues as a habitual ritual or an obligation, likening the deep-seated belief in the necessity of maternity to medieval rituals or black magic. He challenges the notion that a life remains unfulfilled without children and criticizes the lack of intellectual discourse regarding maternity as an act of violence. Furthermore, Acharya Prashant questions the common understanding of saving life, such as through blood donation, without first defining what life truly is. He asserts that if people understood the true meaning of life beyond a breathing mass of flesh, they would be more interested in life itself and far less interested in giving birth.
