Acharya Prashant addresses the profound suffering inflicted upon animals by human ignorance and greed. He explains that the modern exploitation of animals, including the meat industry and the commercialization of dairy, stems from a deep-seated lack of self-knowledge. He points out that as long as slaughterhouses exist and animal products are marketed as attractive commodities, human society will remain cursed and devoid of true peace. He emphasizes that one cannot be considered truly human if they exploit or consume weaker, defenseless beings simply because they have the power to do so.
