People are unaware that for killing innocent land and water animals, they themselves will have to suffer severe reactions from material nature. All countries where animals are unnecessarily killed will have to suffer wars and epidemics imposed by material nature

In comparing our own suffering to that of others, we must show ourselves benevolent towards all living beings, humans, animals and plants. We can avoid the sufferings inflicted by fate by obeying God, doing his divine will, surrendering ourselves totally to him, and serving him with love and devotion.

To be aware of God is to know him as that He really is. It is also to be imbued with honesty, morality and purity.

We become truly better by realizing God and by having renewed the bond which unites us to Him. But to achieve this, morality and purity are required.

God being pure, we cannot approach him without purifying ourselves. That is why we prohibit the consumption of animal flesh [meat, fish and egg], sexual relations outside marriage, intoxication in all its forms [drugs, stimulants, alcohol, cigarettes, coffee, tea], and gambling or gambling.

These immoral activities keep us in a state of perpetual impurity, so impossible to progress in the consciousness of God without renouncing it.

Some atheist philosophers and ignorant religious leaders seek to convince their followers that animals are only bodies of dense matter without souls and devoid of feelings. However, anyone who has ever lived with an animal, be it a dog, a cat, a bird or even a mouse, knows that such a theory is a shameless lie, invented only for the sole purpose of justifying the cruelty of innocent animals. Yes, animals do have a soul, and in addition they have feelings.

In truth, beauty comes from the soul, which diffuses it and communicates it to the entire material body. A soulless body is therefore deprived of life, and therefore instantly becomes dull. Beauty comes from the spiritual soul which animates the body. It is this which makes the external envelope of the incarnate spiritual being attractive.

The beauty of the soul comes from its purity, that which it obtains in contact with God and its union with Him.

Krishna, God the Supreme Person says:

If a human being is engaged in sinful and irreligious activities, either because of bad association or because of his inability to control his senses, then such a person will certainly develop a personality full of material desires. He thus becomes stingy with others, greedy and always anxious to exploit the bodies of women. When the mind is polluted in this way, one becomes violent and aggressive and without the authority
