Acharya Prashant addresses the pressure students feel to join high-paying corporate jobs, even when these companies contribute to climate change. He explains that this pressure to "go with the flow" does not come from an external source but from our own deep-seated, basic physical tendencies. He likens this to the innate greed of a child. Humans are born with a tendency to value their physicality far more than goodness, and money directly appeals to this physicality. He elaborates that when people start earning, they use their money to serve their physicality—buying better clothes, cars, and apartments, or giving money to their physical parents. He points out that we are born with the same animalistic tendencies, valuing physicality over consciousness. Like animals, we are naturally drawn to things that satisfy the body, such as food and sleep, but show reluctance towards things that elevate consciousness, like learning. However, Acharya Prashant highlights that humans are unique because they are not solely animalistic. There is something in us that transcends the animal—a consciousness that aspires for something higher and feels a vague restlessness. This consciousness understands that merely satisfying the body cannot be the purpose of life and seeks answers. It turns to society, parents, teachers, and the media, which teach that the higher purpose is societal respect, often measured by a large salary. He concludes that this pursuit of societal respect through wealth is merely a sophisticated extension of our animalism. Our cities become extensions of the jungle, and our culture an extension of our animalistic tendencies. The competition for the best job offer on campus is likened to animals fighting over a kill. The true challenge of being human is to recognize this inner jungle and to choose a life that transcends these animal instincts, understanding that we are not born merely to live and die like animals.
