Guest guest Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Meat eating is banned not onlt because it is bad for Karma, but because it is unnatural. Our teeth cannot tear meat properly, and our body cannot digest meat. As such the flesh isnt digested, but is directly assimilated in our muscles. This might give stronger muscles, but it also means your body contains parts of that animal. So people who eat meat identify too strongly with their body and get the charcterstics of the animal you eat. For example, "go" in Sanskrit means both cow and senses. If you eat beef, your attachment to senses becomes stronger. This means that you cannot go into the Astral regions where most of the Devtaas and some Gods live. This is why I find it hard to believe Rishis ate meat, as they would know such basic things about Yoga and our body. In fact, it is doubtful Rishis ate anything. We eat food to get Pran-the Life force. In Satyug, most Rishis got their Pran directly from air, via Pranayam and Gayatri mantra. In Treta Yuga, people had to start eating, but still got 75% Pran from air. In Dwapar it was 50-50. In Kaliyug, we only get 25% Pran from air, and 75% from food. Even then we dont get enough, and have to sleep long hours to make up for the shortage. As such meat eating is a recent habit, not our real nature. Of course Science doesnt agree with this, but then Science doesnt agree with anything outside the Physical realm, and thats a fault with Science, not with Vedic knowledge.
