Acharya Prashant explains that spirituality and non-vegetarianism are fundamentally incompatible. He asserts that while anyone can claim to be spiritual, true spirituality is rooted in compassion for oneself and all living beings. Spirituality is the science of transcending suffering, and it begins with an honest examination of one's own internal state. Just as medical science proves that all humans are biologically similar regardless of race or background, spiritual inquiry reveals that the internal experiences of pain, fear, and the desire for life are universal across all species.
