conditioned by matter has a propensity for carnal pleasures and the consumption of animal flesh. The scriptures therefore grant certain concessions.

In truth, the holy scriptures only aim to put an end to all these execrable activities. But to gradually reform meat-eaters and womanizers, they subject their practices to certain regulatory principles. Another example, animal sacrifices offered to celestial beings are allowed to those who eat meat, but it must be understood that these sacrifices are only used to restrict the consumption of animal flesh. In other words, the original scriptures also regulate the slaughter of animals, stating that outside of these practices, the consumption of animal flesh is strictly prohibited. Each species of being provides the livelihood of another, more powerful.

Man must live on milk, cereals, leaves, fruits, vegetables which material nature offers him everywhere on earth, which he will offer to the Supreme Lord before consuming them, and thus walk the path of salvation.

The exploitation of the weak by the strong is carried out according to a natural law, which we find, always the same, within all species of beings. There can be no question of putting an end to this tendency which attaches to the material condition by any artificial means; only it will be able to stop the awakening of the spiritual nature of the man, according to regulated spiritual practices. However, the regulatory principles of spiritual life do not admit that a man who massacres the lower animals teaches others at the same time peaceful coexistence. How can we in all conscience wage war on animals, massacre them, make them horribly suffer, and believe that peace will be possible between men?

Blind rulers must first learn to understand and know the Supreme Being, and then strive to recreate the kingdom of God on Earth. Only such a kingdom makes possible the awakening of divine consciousness among the masses.

Whoever desires material happiness in this world obtains this blessing from the Lord. Thus, whoever desires liberation will obtain it through the care of the Lord, and whoever desires to absorb himself without respite in his service, in full awareness of Krishna, will also find himself blessed by Him.
