He can never admit the opening of slaughterhouses as well as fish and aquaculture ponds where millions of terrestrial and aquatic animals are killed. He has nothing in common with those partial and inept rulers who protect one being and allow another to be slaughtered. He knows how to act in such a way that all living beings, human beings, animals and plants, are happy. No personal interest animates it. Selfishness can be convergent or divergent, that is to say centered on oneself or extended around oneself, but in it, of one or the other of these forms one does not find any trace. His only desire, to please the Supreme Lord, who is the Absolute Truth. As soon as we put ourselves at the service of the Lord, our interest must agree with that of the Supreme Being.
Now, God wishes to see all beings obey Him and thus find happiness. For this reason, the only desire of a family man or spiritual guide should be to guide all those in his charge on the way back to the kingdom of God.

The spiritual soul, because it has incarnated in a body of matter, human, animal or vegetable, is conditioned by matter and by maya, the delusional energy of the Lord. The conditioning of the soul dates back to time immemorial.
The conditioned soul, because of its prolonged contact with matter and its successive existences in this world, has developed, out of habit, an instinctive tendency to want to dominate the material energy. Thus, when she obtains a human form, she has no awareness of the responsibility that falls to her. The human form is indeed an opportunity for it to escape the clutches of illusory matter, and the Words and Teachings of God are particularly intended to guide it towards the Supreme Lord, in his original abode. Reincarnating in an endless cycle through the different living species, 8,400,000 in total, corresponds to the imprisonment of the separate fallen, doomed soul. The human form offers him the opportunity to escape this imprisonment.
Man's only concern must therefore be to re-establish his lost relationship with God. In this perspective, no one should ever be encouraged to act for the satisfaction of the senses under the pretext of carrying out some religious activity. Such misappropriation of human energy only results in leading society astray. Let us understand that the various forms of material pleasures can only seriously hinder the spiritual progress of men, because they will refuse to renounce material actions, which keep them prisoners of matter.
The perfection of existence cannot be reached by excessive labor, by the accumulation of wealth or by the multiplication of offspring, but only by renouncing
