Spirituality is without meat and alcohol
Milk is a primary source of prāṇa, essential for health. It comes from mothers—human, cow, buffalo, goat, or camel. From milk comes yogurt, then butter, then ghee, the essence that nourishes the body. The quality of the milk depends on the animal's health and feed; pure grass yields pure milk. Modern processing often adulterates this purity. Animals feel pain, so they must be treated with care and compassion, not exploitation. Consume milk consciously, knowing its source. Alcohol is a medicine, not for regular drinking; it causes familial strife. Choose good food without chemicals for your family's well-being. All religions are good; practice your sādhanā consciously, respecting others. Beauty is in the soul, not the transient body.
"From the milk comes yogurt; from yogurt comes butter; and from butter comes ghee. That is the quality, that is the power that is good for our body’s health."
"All animals or humans, we are living, they feel pain, and we also feel the pain. Therefore, we should take care."
