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."
