Acharya Prashant addresses the ethical and psychological implications of bringing children into the world, particularly in conditions of poverty and lack of resources. He argues that true love begins with self-love; an individual who does not care for their own well-being cannot truly care for another. He observes that remaining in a state of extreme deprivation for decades often indicates a lack of self-regard, which then manifests as cruelty toward one's offspring. He posits that giving birth can be a greater crime than taking a life if the parents are not physically, economically, mentally, or spiritually capable of raising a child properly.
