Acharya Prashant explains that love and responsibility must be reasonless and mad. One has to be crazy enough to put everything at stake for a seemingly trivial creature. He illustrates this with a story from the life of the Buddha. In the story, a man is carrying a goat to be slaughtered. The Buddha meets him and kindly asks him to spare the goat, pointing to its innocent face and eyes. The man, despite being trained in scriptures and knowing it is bad to kill, explains that he has a family to support. He argues that his responsibility towards his family necessitates selling the goat's meat. This, the speaker notes, is how responsibility often works: as a calculated give-and-take, where responsibility in one direction becomes cruelty to another. The Buddha, having no money, then asks the man how much flesh he will get from the goat. Upon hearing the amount, the Buddha offers the same quantity of flesh from his own body in exchange for the goat's life. The speaker describes this act as crazy. A rational mind, like that of a management consultant, would argue that the Buddha's life is more precious and could save a million such goats, making the trade-off illogical. Furthermore, the man would likely just kill another goat. The more one thinks about it, the more insane the Buddha's offer appears. However, the speaker asserts that this is true love and responsibility. True responsibility, he clarifies, is not a cold, calculated word discussed in seminars. It is when one is going mad trying to save an inconsequential creature, putting everything at stake. This form of responsibility often looks like irresponsibility to the world, as it follows no conventional mental patterns. The speaker concludes by connecting this to modern life, stating that we cannot save ourselves or the animals without an element of 'insanity' in our general living. The mind required to save ourselves and the ecosystem is not the same sane, calculating mind we use daily. Veganism, in its true sense, is love. It is not just about what one eats but extends to one's entire lifestyle, including consumption of resources like steel and electricity, and even air travel, all of which impact the ecosystem and cause grief to other beings.
