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 innocence, simplicity, 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 beings. Acharya Prashant further criticizes religious texts and masters that claim animals were created for human consumption or exploitation. He suggests that such claims are merely human inventions designed to justify violence and excesses, arguing that if animals wrote their own scriptures, they would never portray themselves as inferior or meant for slaughter. He concludes that the yardstick for superiority should be based on actual values rather than human-centric convenience.
