Those who interrupt a life, human, animal or plant, will be sanctioned by divine justice by receiving severe punishment and will suffer suffering similar to acts committed in their future life.

Let us love one another, but also love all animals and plants, watch over them and protect them. God recommends us to look at all human beings, all animals and all plants with the same eye.

Logos 374

What is true non-violence?

Nonviolence is not to interrupt the spiritual development of any being, human, animal or plant. Let us beware of believing that since the spiritual soul never perishes, and survives the death of its body, there is no harm in slaughtering animals and destroying trees for the satisfaction of the senses. Although abundantly supplied with cereals, fruits and milk, humans today indulge in the consumption of animal flesh. Let us know that there is no need to kill animals or destroy trees and various plants by fire. And no one is an exception to the truth of this rule. Man wishing to progress on the path of spiritual realization must not at any cost, when there is abundant food, do violence to animals and plants.

True non-violence consists in not slowing down the spiritual progress of a being, whatever it is, human, animal or plant. But souls embodied in animal bodies, by transmigrating from one species to another, follow a certain evolution, and they too progress. A slaughtered animal sees its progress hampered. Indeed, before rising to the higher animal species, he must return to the species he left prematurely to complete his due days or years there. One should therefore not slow down the evolution of animals for the sole satisfaction of one's palate. This is true non-violence. It is God's order not to harm anyone, human, animal or plant.

Logos 375

It is now, during our present life, that we must prepare for our next existence.

The Lord said: It is the thoughts, the memories of the being at the moment of leaving the body, which determine his future condition.
