The justice which condemns him to the death penalty does him justice by taking life for life. Now, according to spiritual philosophy, the person who kills an animal must expect the same fate. No sane person would take such a risk.
Logos 293
To be aware of God is to know Him as he really is, to be imbued with honesty, morality and purity.
We really become better by realizing God and having renewed the bond that unites us to Him. But to achieve this, morality or purity is required. God being pure, one cannot approach him without purifying himself. This is why we prohibit the consumption of animal flesh (meat, fish and eggs), games of chance, illicit sexual relations and intoxication in all its forms (drugs, stimulants, alcohol, cigarettes, coffee, tea). These immoral activities keep us in a state of perpetual impurity; therefore impossible to progress in the consciousness of God without giving up.
Some atheist philosophers and religious leaders seek to convince their supporters that animals are only material bodies without souls and devoid of feelings. Anyone who has ever lived with an animal, even a dog, a bird, or even a mouse, knows that such a theory is a shameless lie, invented to justify the cruelty of innocent animals. Yes, animals do have a soul.
Logos 294
Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, the Sovereign Lord being the Absolute, nothing and no one is separate from Him. Nothing exists except Him, and outside Him there is nothing.
The Lord said: “There is really nothing that exists outside of Me, that is what you must clearly understand”.
Each being, each thing, is a manifestation of its energy, so that It is present everywhere through its energies, which are not different from Him. Just as the cubic centimeter of sunlight and each molecule of its rays relate to the sun, the Lord is everywhere present thanks to his different energies. He is the Holy Spirit, the Supreme Soul, present in each being as supreme guide and witness, which in fact indicates that He already acts as the counselor of all beings.
Whatever He does, He never gives up his supreme, absolute or unlimited position.
