No one likes to be killed, and it is not merely a question of killing. There are two primary considerations. The first is the pain and suffering inflicted. These are innocent animals; they have no one to complain to and no shelter. Second, God gave them life, and we interrupt the life which God has granted. Consequently, they have to go through the cycle of birth and death again and progress further. He is a stupid one. The Dalai Lama is one of the most stupid men. Yes, it is only politics, nothing else. His problem is to get China back—not China, Tibet. And you know, when a tiger already has a deer in its mouth, you cannot take it from the tiger anymore. So, Tibet is there; it is okay. It became a provision of China. Why not? Throughout much of history, the region was under either China or India. It was not an independent Tibet. The king of the Himalayas was known as Śiva. The Buddhists killed that king. They installed a Buddhist monk in that palace, and they call him the Lama. Therefore, this Lama is not a spiritual leader, only a political one. He is born to serve, and he eats cow meat. Buddha never ate meat. Buddha never ate even a tiny little fish. When Buddha walked, he was so careful that he did not step on any creatures. We organized a Dalai Lama program in Australia with Yogananda Life and the Australian Vegetarian Society. There were about 600 to 700 people in Darling Harbour, Sydney. He spoke for only 15 or 20 minutes and then only took questions. One person asked the Lama, "Are you vegetarian or not?" He said, "No, I am not vegetarian. When I came to India, I became vegetarian, but I fell ill. So my doctor said I should eat beef, and I am eating it." Eighty percent of the people got up immediately and left. Thus, there is no compromise on the path of killing someone. Even in God’s kingdom, there is no compromise. Do not think that because we are human and we are the rulers, we can do anything. No, no. You have a different intellect and a different kind of thinking, but life is the same. Whether you kill a human or an animal, you have killed. For every fish you have eaten, you must be born that many times as a fish and be caught by a hook. Only then can you progress to the next point. For every chicken you have eaten, you must be born that many times as a chicken and have your throat cut. It is a long journey. Do not worry. The creation will last a long time, so there is no question of whether you eat meat or not. It is also said that after an animal has died, you should not eat dead food. Animals eat other animals, but humans should not. Many do, but you are incurring many karmas. For each bite of meat—yes, each bite—you accrue karma. If I had to touch meat, my whole body would react. I cannot even look at the meat of a dead body. They also had life. Furthermore, it is instructed that you should not destroy the plant itself. You should eat the type of vegetable known as a fruit vegetable, which is ripe and has been given. That is all. So, do not destroy the plant. My son had an organic lettuce plant in the ground. We did not pull it out. It is the same principle as taking fruit. So, did you learn something from your son? Thank you. Hello. Gaṇeśa. Oh, good morning, sir. Thank you. If you must go to the High Court or the Supreme Court, it does not matter how much you try to avoid it. The judge will say, "I may accept everything else as okay, but it was you who killed." That is it. Therefore, the punishment is given not based on how kind or humble you are in other matters. It is given solely because you killed. Thus, there must be someone—a lawyer or an advocate for the animals too—at the highest court of God, Dharmarāja. And there, the only lawyer who can serve is a holy saint who is ready to give his own life, but not the lives of others. That is the purpose of our people; you should come to satsaṅg. You may not need to come one day for yoga exercises. That does not matter; you will become ill, that is all. What will happen? You will die. Nothing worse can happen. But satsaṅg will remove and purify your karma. All of it. So, as she was asking a question—what is her name? Tārā? We give you the name Tārā, okay? Yes, Divine Mother Tārā, you know.
