00:00 Some people even say veganism is unnatural and their biggest argument is vitamin B12.
00:09 They say this vitamin can come only from an animal source and human body requires this.
00:18 So this is the proof that veganism is unnatural.
00:22 They mean a prakritic.
00:24 I agree veganism is not prakritic but then why must it be prakritic?
00:31 Is man prakritic anymore?
00:33 If you want to be prakritic then I say go back and live in the jungle.
00:39 You have come out of the jungle.
00:40 Is marriage prakritic?
00:41 Are there marriages in the jungle?
00:44 So marriage is the first thing that is unnatural.
00:49 Is language prakritic?
00:50 Are there languages in the jungle?
00:53 Are there clothes in the jungle?
00:55 Are there countries in the jungle?
00:57 Are there constitutions in the jungle?
00:59 Are there vehicles in the jungle?
01:01 But then to all these things you do not say oh these are unnatural.
01:05 To all these things you are happily amenable.
01:11 But the moment it is discovered that vitamin B12 cannot be found except in an animal source,
01:22 you rejoice and say you see now veganism is ticked off because it is proven that veganism
01:32 is unnatural.
01:33 Yes, of course, veganism is unnatural.
01:38 And just as you choose so many things that are unnatural, choose veganism as well.
01:49 Do not choose it because it is natural.
01:53 Do not choose it because it is coming from compassion.
02:03 Do not choose it because of prakriti.
02:06 Choose it because of karuna.
02:09 And these are two very different arguments.
02:13 There are the naturalists who say that you should choose what is there in prakriti.
02:18 I strongly deny that.
02:20 I am not a naturalist.
02:21 I do not say that you should live as prakriti lives.
02:25 In prakriti all creatures or rather most creatures except the nocturnal ones sleep at night.
02:34 I conduct my sessions after midnight.
02:38 Am I prakritic?
02:40 Am I?
02:43 So I am not at all a supporter of prakriti.
02:46 In fact, all spirituality is about transcending prakriti.
02:51 So I am not a naturalist.
02:52 I stand for transcendence of physical nature which you call as prakriti.
02:59 But in transcending prakriti, I do not want to stop at buddhi or intellect.
03:05 In transcending prakriti, I want to reach the atma or truth where compassion resides.
