Gurupurnima Satsang with Vishwaguruji (2/2)
Awakening begins with the simple recognition of one's own humanity upon opening one's eyes. This awareness is the foundation. Placing one's feet on the earth connects one to the entire world. Taking water in hand reveals the divine essence present in all creation, from a single drop to the vast sea; this same essence flows within every body. True human nature is defined by compassion and non-violence. Consuming eggs or meat violates this principle, as it involves harming other beings who share in the same conscious essence. One must resolve to cease such consumption and instruct children to refuse such food, preserving purity. This conscious, compassionate living is the essence of dharma and the mark of an awakened being.
"A person who opens his eyes and says, 'I am a human being,' is a human."
"If I am a human being, if I start eating the egg, then you are not a human being."
