Video Information: 11.12.2024, Vedanta: Basics to Classics, Goa
Description:
In this video, a young questioner asks Acharya Prashant about the use of animal-based products, particularly in the context of vegan athletes. Historically, human practices have often relied on ignorance and cruelty, incorporating animal products into various industries like music, sports, and sugar production. For example, leather has been used in cricket balls, and animal intestines in racket strings, largely due to tradition and habit. Despite advancements in technology that offer cruelty-free alternatives, these practices persist due to a lack of awareness and compassion.
The video delves into the idea that true change cannot arise from isolated actions, such as saving individual animals, but requires addressing the deeper issues of human ignorance and ego-driven exploitation. A shift toward a more compassionate world demands a transformation in human consciousness, ultimately reducing cruelty across all aspects of life.
