Acharya Prashant explains that the central teaching of the Vedas, particularly the Upanishads, is that man is the truth itself and is inherently complete and perfect. This realization of totality means that one should not operate from a sense of lack or a desire to gain fulfillment through external collection or progress. When one understands their true nature as infinite, their relationship with the world changes from one of possession and exploitation to one of love and harmony. In this state of completeness, other beings are not seen as resources; therefore, a true follower of the Vedic path cannot maintain a relationship with a cow based solely on its ability to provide milk, only to discard it when it stops producing.
