Guest guest Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord Raajasik food generates virulent thoughts. By consuming non-vegetarian food we develop brutal mentalities. Those who are practicing meditation must abstain from meat. We should also remember constantly that ahimsa or non-violence is the supreme Dharma. When you kill an animal you give him suffering, pain, harm. God is in every creature, so how can you give such pain? Animals did not come for the purpose of supplying food to human beings. They came to work out their own life in the world. If you do not smoke, you escape a number of illnesses that follow that raajasik practice. Any intoxicant or stimulant, because it disturbs nature's trend, is harmful. Smoking destroys health, happiness, energy and even charm. Smoke will not quench your thirst or fill the hungry stomach. It disfigures your face and denigrates your lungs. It debilitates you and makes you diseased. Control yourself and do not yield to the snares of friends or society, or what is miscalled social convention, and become a prey to this and other bad habits. Reference: Hislop John.
