Krishna, God, the Supreme Person condemns all those who kill animals terrestrial and aquatic and who dare to eat their flesh, as He expresses it by this reflection to a fisherman:
“You must have committed the offense of slaughtering animals, hunting or in the course of your policy. To regain your purity, simply indulge in the practice of devotional service and keep your mind constantly absorbed in Me. The time is near when you will be free from the consequences of these sordid acts for all eternity”.
Serving the Supreme Eternal with love and devotion is the only value by which it is possible to gain favor of Krishna, it is the only path that leads to ultimate success in the consciousness of God.
Recover sanity and improve our discernment.
, in order to see behind each object and material that composes it, its true source, its true origin. We must all now see things and matters as they are, in their true relief, in their true complete form.
Understand for example that behind a piece of meat there was a living animal with a soul, a creature of God. This salutary discernment should lead us quite naturally to consider that behind a prime rib, there was a living ox, that behind a leg, there was a living lamb, that behind a ham there was a living pig, that behind a sole fillet, there was a living sole, and behind a slice of fish, there was a sea bass, a grouper, a tuna, a sea bream, a pike, a carp, etc.
No longer participate in the slaughter of terrestrial and aquatic animals, let's no longer be complicit in their assassination, let's stop eating meat, fish and eggs from now on. All animals, like us, have the right to live and progress spiritually.
Teaching of the Supreme Eternal.
God feels for all living beings, human beings, animals and plants, an equal love. We are not the body of matter in which we reside, but spiritual entities also called spiritual souls. We have embodied ourselves in a human body, animal or plant, depending on our acts committed in our previous life, a consequence of our respective karma.
All animals have a soul as well as all plants, and as such we must protect them and take care of them. This is the major reason why the Supreme Eternal forbids taking the life of a human being and an animal, and expressly asks us not to destroy plants, and not to eat meat, fish and eggs. So let us listen to God, and do what He says.
We must preserve life, not destroy it.
It is the duty of the spiritual soul embodied in a human body not to forget that it must be careful not to kill, even ants.
