Acharya Prashant explains that violence, or 'Himsa', originates from the violent animal within each of us. Every human is born to consume, and this consumption necessitates the destruction of nature, such as clearing jungles. He defines this state of dependency on the world as the state of violence. He critiques those who practice superficial forms of non-violence, such as vegans who have multiple children, questioning their compassion because bringing more consumers into the world is an act of violence. True non-violence, or 'Ahimsa', is described as core spirituality and the basis of authentic veganism. The speaker asserts that these violent tendencies are not acquired but are inherent from birth. He states that we are born with impurities and that all nonsense emanates from our DNA. The fundamental problem and the root cause of all violence is body-identification. Our body is animalistic, having come from the jungle, and thus contains all the problems of the jungle. The key difference between humans and other animals is that while animals have instinctual impulses, they lack the intellect and technology, like missiles and guns, to execute them on a large scale. Humans, being animals with intellect, are therefore far more dangerous. This understanding, he clarifies, is not meant to induce guilt but to instill a sense of responsibility and hope. The ultimate goal of spirituality and true veganism is to gain freedom from both the inner animal (our impulses) and the outer animal (our dependence on animal products). Freedom from one is not possible without freedom from the other. When asked about antinatalism, he states there is no great virtue in the continuation of human civilization if it means perpetuating suffering. The improvement humans can bring to the Earth is reductive; it involves clearing away the 'nonsense' we have created, much like demolishing wrongly constructed buildings to improve a locality. This process of reduction to zero, which he relates to the philosophy of 'Shunyavaad' (emptiness), is necessary to create space for something new and beautiful. He concludes that this battle against our inherent nature is impossible to win, yet too essential to ignore, so one must fight on without being attached to the results.
