Description

Acharya Prashant addresses the insensitivity people display toward the vulnerable, attributing it to a fundamental lack of love for life and consciousness. He argues that our animalistic nature allows us to tolerate the mass slaughter of animals for food while simultaneously harboring cruel thoughts about the poor or disabled. He highlights the irony of a technologically advanced civilization that still functions with the mindset of beasts, using sophisticated methods to kill. He emphasizes that this lack of self-knowledge leads to a society where intellect is enslaved by inner animalistic instincts, resulting in a loss of compassion for both animals and fellow human beings.
