We learned that we are human
The human calling is to live as true humans, distinct from animals.
The human comes from God. Jīva Jīva Bhakṣate—life eats life. Shiva saw all creatures eating each other. Shiva brought the human to stop this. A human who eats meat and kills acts like an animal. That is not human. Humans should not eat animals. Eating only fruits and pure things is human. Alcohol is only for medicine. Drinking alcohol otherwise leads to loss. Not eating meat purifies the body. This brings happiness and heaven. Those who eat meat go down. Satsang means truth. Spread this teaching to all. People from many countries are learning.
"Jīva Jīva Bhakṣate."
"We are human, and if we are human, why do we go killing? Then it’s not a human."
