Where is our happiness?
Where happiness is, there is God. God is in all creatures, plants, waters, earth. Happiness or its absence is in everything; become happy throughout life. Make your parents happy. Animals kill but do not understand. Humans must not kill. Eating meat kills a creature every day. Even eating an egg is killing, though nothing yet becomes life. Upon waking, say "I am a human being." Then ask forgiveness of Mother Earth. Pray before work, before food, during āratī. Many are lost, like sweet fruits falling from a tree. Some take alcohol, marry too early. Before eating, fold hands and give thanks. The soul cannot be killed; it returns again and again.
"Where there is happiness, there is God."
"If you are eating meat every day, it means every day you are killing one creature in your body."
