Description

Acharya Prashant argues that the common notion of human superiority over animals is highly misplaced and often incorrect. He asserts that in terms of unholiness, cruelty, and insensitivity, humans frequently fall far below the level of animals. While humans possess the potential to rise, this potential is rarely realized, whereas an animal never falls below its inherent nature. He highlights that true values such as simplicity, innocence, truthfulness, and the ability to love are more readily found in animals than in mature human adults. Using the example of a small pup following a group of humans with complete trust and faith, he contrasts this with the fear and lack of love prevalent in human behavior. Acharya Prashant further critiques religious texts that claim animals were created for human consumption, labeling such ideas as human inventions designed to justify exploitation and violence. He concludes that if animals were to write their own scriptures, they would never portray themselves as inferior or meant for slaughter, proving that such human-centric claims are not holy but are merely justifications for human excesses.
