Logos 9
Let not kill or make animals suffer, and do not eat their flesh, for they have soul. Men are still unaware that divine laws prevail over human laws, and that they suffer the consequences of their actions according to the law of cause and effect and karma.
The original holy scriptures say: “All animals that we have killed and that we have caused needless suffering will kill us one after another in our next life and in all of our other lives.”
Those who kill animals, cause them needless suffering and eat their flesh, as is the practice in slaughterhouses, will be killed in a similar way in their next life and in many lifetimes to come. There is no forgiveness for such an offense. Anyone who professionally kills thousands of animals so that people can buy their meat and eat them must expect to be killed in a similar way in their next life and in many other lifetimes. Many unscrupulous individuals even go so far as to violate their own religious principles. The Judeo-Christian Scriptures clearly give the following command: “You shall not kill”. Despite this, giving themselves all kinds of excuses, even the leaders of these religions kill animals while posing as holy men. This derision and hypocrisy of humanity are the cause of the calamities which overwhelm it, such as the periodic outbreak of wars, epidemics and various calamities. Killing animals will not only rob us of human form in our next life, but will force us to put on an animal body and be killed by the same kind of animal that we killed. These are the divine laws. If the mass of people is to be saved from these chain reactions of life after life killing, they must now devote themselves to developing Krishna consciousness, God consciousness and stopping all sinful activity.
It is imperative to stop the consumption of animal flesh, the use of intoxicants, illicit sex and gambling. Putting an end to these sinful acts allows us to know God. Let us immediately stop committing these sins and chant the holy Name of God;
Hare Krishna, hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, hare hare / hare Rama, hare Rama, Rama Rama, hare hare,
in order to free ourselves from the cycle successive deaths and rebirths and thus to see all our sins erased.
Logos 10
The spiritual world is the real home of the incarnate spiritual beings that we all are.
This eternal spiritual world is called Vaikuntha and in Sanskrit it means “the world without anxiety”. Everything there is effulgent [radiant] and filled with consciousness
