Enjoy your life and don't eat meat

Life emerges, consumes, and returns in a continuous cycle. All beings are composed of the same five elements. Observing nature reveals that one living being consumes another. This dynamic perpetuates existence. Our actions within this cycle carry consequences. Choosing non-violence and compassion aligns one with a higher path. Harming other creatures, such as for meat, creates negative karma. All life, from an ant to a human, seeks sustenance and experiences suffering. To progress spiritually, one must refrain from causing harm. This practice benefits all families and all creatures. Through conscious living without violence, one moves toward divine union.

"Jīva, jīva, bhakṣate refers to all kinds of beings."

"We do not kill any humans, no animals... Then I’m sure that we go in that way to God."

Vishwaguru, Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara, Paramahaṁsa, Svāmī Maheśvarānanda, Śrī Gurujī, Mahārāj, Kī Jaya. Śrī Mīrābāī, Śrī Kī Jaya. So it is. This means that each and every one of us should become better and very nice. All my dear people—perhaps one is like my sister or my mother—it is like this, Śrī Śrī... I came nearly fifty years ago, or more than that. I came step by step. But why did I come? I spoke to my guru about this. At that time, with my guru, there was not one person who ate meat or drank alcohol. They told me I should come and eat, otherwise I would not be like this thing; I would become very thin and nothing. I said it does not matter. But when I spoke to people, asking, "Why are you doing this, and what are you giving us?" it is something one has to learn or know. Because we say, "Jīva, jīva, bhakṣate"—all different kinds of living creatures. But what does this all mean? "Jīva, jīva, bhakṣate" refers to all kinds of beings. When this difference arises again, they will come back. We will be living there. This time, this creation, is another creation; it is like this. All will be again inside, everywhere. For example, we see the big ocean. But inside are many, many creatures, more than on the earth. Slowly, slowly they came out and arrived on the earth. But it is like this: eating and working, and everything like that. So then it is said, when this is happening, how will we go somewhere again? There is one—there is a big animal, a buffalo, or a little ant. This little ant also wants to have water. All others are coming in and going in, but all are the five elements. So the little ant is alive, and humans are like this. So how will it happen? How do we come? There is a different kind of situation when many negative things are being done. Then it goes down into the waters. When will it come out? Yes. How? And when? How can we cut? Now, there is one thing, and that is, as I tell—nobody tells me this—even the human, when we were born, of course, all are born. When the mother comes to the child after nine months, and the baby comes, maybe a girl or a boy, it doesn’t matter. So they help; somebody, a lady, comes and helps her. And then comes the child. They are like this when they are coming. So there is one lady, another, and she comes and helps and cleans her, and like this. So, legs here like this. So we want to take out, like this, many times, like this. I don’t know, I was not there, okay? But I’m saying that. Only women tell, so they are doing. And sometimes when not, then, boy, and of course they can also do. So they are bringing the child like this, like this, long, yes? Because I said that God has given them so much, and they give to us also, to open, please, yes? But sooner or later, we also will die. So we give the hand like this, and the hand goes like this. Everything. So that was like this, all good. So God has given like this, and as long as it is, now it’s not anymore, then it is finished. So, I was telling, not others, okay? So, other animals, anything, how is it coming? Then humans are also like the burn and burns. How does it come? What will happen? So, the human is lying here. A buffalo dies, and we also see it like that. Our other car, not. Car goes, no. That can also, yeah. Good, this is a joke. And so there are all kinds of things, so also one ant. So when he dies, then his life goes, his also. So, all they are together, varieties. But it is said, there is coming "jīva jīva bhakṣate." So there is that which tells, so that it will come again. And what this is, whether you believe it or not, I’m telling you, and you can see for yourself, that we do not kill any humans, no animals, not this and that. Then I’m sure that we go in that way to God. And if not this, like that, killing animals and eating, and this and that, you know, the whole house? Today I saw in the train, the train was, train, see? One very big truck, yeah, and you see that meat, so much. So that is a human. We are men, we are humans, but they say, "What do you know? You don’t know that." So don’t tell. If you tell somebody, you say, "Why are you doing this?" So I said, okay, I go in my sight. But you are all here, my dears. You have come, and you have given to hundreds of persons or friends, and you make more like this. You will, me, I think that we will come to that side, and then again we will go very nice walking there and in other things. This is like that. And you know that I tried also this one then. You know, we have this vegan. And in a vegan, what is coming is more, better they eat. Because cows, animals, and all these, they are like your mother. Give mommy milk, but don’t fill it with milk and give it to another. It will not. So, but we said our milk, because the baby is not quick to drink it all, so we can look only at that one. So in that place, in that we go. So, come to us. Otherwise, all is vain. And more, many, many, because of animals and everything. So, anyhow, yeah. Even the many other things, they are like the other animals. We are animals, and we should not do anything. It comes from the little, little thing, what is that, the spine, you see. But there are many in our half, in our Maharashtra, sweet, bees, the beings. Bienen, and in my ashram at least you can see hundreds, yeah, hundreds, yeah, little ones and big ones, you can, you can come and see, hanging like this, and zzzz, and why? Why? Because if someone does not have good things, like this and that, then it is not good, then they will suffer. Yes, when in Jadān Ashram, there are big, big bees, and they hang in huge swarms. When you have some artificial scent on your body and in your hair, then they come, then they bite, they sting you. And they always go with you, and they have many nice, beautiful things. So even the animals are very nice everywhere. So, what should we do? Practice further. It is good for our families, for all others, for all animals, for everyone. In this, we come to God.
