Acharya Prashant explains that being superior in a spiritual tradition entails a profound responsibility rather than a right to exploit. He clarifies that if humans are considered superior or closer to enlightenment, their role is to act as trustees and caretakers of other creatures. He challenges the interpretation that animals are made for human consumption, suggesting instead that they are entrusted to man's compassion. Using the concept of the mother goddess, he argues that one cannot be violent toward that which they worship. He emphasizes that we must not assault, kill, or exploit the life forms we are meant to protect.
