Do not kill animals

The path of purity is cultivated through disciplined living and devotion. Many consume all things without restraint, but such actions bear fruit. When advised against this, some resist. Adopting a purer way, such as refraining from certain foods, can inspire others through example. This discipline is a foundation. Spiritual ascent is likened to water: it rises pure, falls, and circulates. The human form is a precious opportunity. In relationships, devoted practice, like a wife's morning pūjā for her husband, creates a shared spiritual current. The body and life are temporary, but consciousness can merge with the pure, eternal source. Medical knowledge has limits, and actions that harm life contradict purity. The essence is to live so that consciousness rises, not descends into further entanglement.

"Look, I will prepare my food and give you some too, you can eat, but I do not offer meat."

"Please, I am... you will clean me, I am yours."

They consume everything—animals and all manner of things—eating incessantly. Is this desire theirs alone? The fruits of such actions manifest in various ways. If we advise others, saying, "Do not eat this; it is not good," they may threaten us, saying, "We will thaw you out." Many have said, "Well, he eats it too, so why shouldn't we?" But you will see, later, when you become strong, you will begin to ask, "What is that?" and the inquiry will deepen more and more. You know when I came here. There was nothing here then, only the buildings of Ayah. It was Andhra Pradesh, just like this, a certain measure. When I arrived, there was not much, but a little something for the children. Everyone here asked, "Hey, why don't you eat meat? Who are you to not eat meat?" I said, "No, no, I am a Swami. I am Hindu." What is Hindu? What is this? Why not eat? I said, "No, why not? But we have animals, we kill them and then consume them." I said, "No, thank you very much." Some people, when I came to India, said, "Here, you are not human. Why are you not eating?" I said, no, no, I am okay. Then what happened? Some young people, perhaps these girls, came to my yoga, to me. I said, "Look, I will prepare my food and give you some too, you can eat, but I do not offer meat." They said, "No." There are people like this; they came to the house and insisted. I said, "No, ma'am, mummy, mummy, please take meat." I said, "No, mummy, for my Swami Vinaya, he taught me well, and truly he is very good." So, slowly, slowly, they all came and said, "Oh my God, how I am." You will see, later in this life, then we will go to the Lord. Those who come again will return in all forms. They came home and told their mother, "Mother, I don't want to eat this; I am eating different food now." They saw how well it worked for them. If we continue like this, we will simply fly very high in this life. Like water. Here is the water, no? Where we cannot drink, but everything is, everything is in Him. There are other animals, many, many, many. They are also inside. But from there it comes up. Then we see in the ocean, up. Then what is that? It goes in, but you don't know what it is. But it is this water; that water is still up. Anyone can go through this, no problem. That is there. Oh, this is very pure, pure. That pure is that, and that is going here. Others again will come out. It always goes up, and then it falls down. When they come to there, they go into the skin. They will go, they will go up into the... yeah. And what is there? You, you are that. So you become like this, and it will come very, very nicely. Our whole body will die out, and our life will come like water from an open source, and from open it will go there. Where are you? This is in the whole human, yes. This is water, down, anything, waters, and this everything. This is, yes, this is Bhagavān who has given, and so they are all good. And also this, many, many, this—what do we call this? They are more good than Manus, all this, but it is the same. So then, if it is in there, when you die, how have you gone? Why have you done? You did. Then you will go again back inside, so it will always be going inside, and this and that, everything. But when you go above, to above, now you look into the very, very clean look with this, and where, how it is, where it is. We are all there. Yeah, that is all we are, like pure, very pure, very thin. This is like, you know, see that in it? And with others, it all comes down. Yes. And so, it is that we should try. We are making some... When we are in this life, then we have to have everything, you know. Each and other, many, many... Things even the doctor knows. Also, doctors have very good... they have, they know, they have many, yeah. But also, that doctor, the best doctor, he will also say, "It is okay, but God, I cannot do. God cannot do for you." Yes, and now the doctors. Many doctors are very good, but how they are doing that is not good. They kill some little ones, or they are cutting little ones, and like this. Now, many doctors there are, they will not, some animals inside, eating and like this. Yeah. So, that's how many I am here in these countries, you know. How many countries I am in? These countries, I was very young. I was always like this, and you see that I did not eat meat and this and that. If it is somebody who has given to me and I don't know, that is other. And you know how you are? You are all everything. It was, but now you said, "Oh, this is this. I am a human, not an animal, and this is that. My, I will go very great." And you and me and all, we are so very together, but not with this. This is that, you know, that I cannot, I cannot tell you, because in these two or three years, I lost many things. Otherwise, I will tell you exactly, very much. I will tell you before that your child will come. I can tell you that child will come, and this child will come, and like this, so I could think and everything. But I was—this was a problem. So you know that, but you know, I hope, I hope, I hope that you are very good, that you have not been eating meat and that. And if you know it's okay and you go on eating, then it's just, oi. Okay, my body, good hand, my body and this, and so, so it's like this. So, it doesn't matter what it is—this or this or that. This is it, what we can, what we... And again, we are with one, double, double... Ball. Ball. Ha. It's only like this, not like that. Coming from down to up, down to up. Yeah, yeah. Oh, you are here. There it is. Aha. This is more than, the best is from me. Okay, so this is... So we should really, if you want, otherwise, okay, you will come back and then you will come out again. Other animals, and this and that, they are eating this and that, like this. But the human, where is the human? Human. Where is the human? Very, very, it is not. In India also, many, many. They don't marry. People get... there are many in India, but one, his husband, woman, she's so pure, very good, and she's not making this and that and that. Early morning, making pūjā, pūjā. The woman. Early morning, she makes pūjā. Pūjā for whom? For her husband. And always she's in meditation. She's a woman. She said, "For my husband, please, God, my woman, take him to a very, very pure, very good..." And please, she comes in early morning, and she said to her husband, "You are my god." And I want, when I will die, I go, my Lord, I want to take you with me. Or if he's doing something, he will bring very good, so that we can go together. This is this. And now, who is that? What is it? Women are here. Now he was gone maybe one, ten times or this. He was sitting here, and then he goes out, and then he goes out, so then he's not good. Yeah, this one wife and that one man. It should be about once only there, and no eating, and no, and not feeling. Then you see two persons. One woman, who was from very down to the till here, and her husband, very, very pure and very good from that till there, he took weather. They go to digger, it will go. Like here, water going up, and it will go that way. So this is yours. It is yours. What you will do and what you will do. And how many times are you... That is, so this, you went for this man, this man to here, this man to here. The woman was at his head, that she went away out from her, and she's going this. So this is now, this is water dripping down. Very nice, pure water in heaven, yeah. And at that time, what can come? Very pure water will come there, and some will come in, and other good, not good. Still, you are living, and in this living, if you can do all night and day, you should. Hey, my husband, I am yours. Hey, my... and he will say to his wife, "Please, I am... you will clean me, I am yours." And very nice, very nice, you are a woman, very nice. And the husband will go away. God. She is very, very, you know, lost, and he has gone away. Or she is gone. Her husband is there, but somebody has gone. So, this is that high. What is that? That is other things. So, humans then, and human is like what? Human is not only like that. The woman is... One of the best friends first, when she had one girl, and now she gets a little one, but I don't know how to say, "You come in my body." Only just avāj, avāj, sound, sound. Sound. And in this center, that mother, the mother is there, and that is in the navel. It is in the navel. Inside is the navel, the center is new. Nabhi, so you're a woman's nabhi. And this, in that comes the avat, and this from the up, and it will come to your nabil, and just like this it will come, and husband will not, still not know how to have avat, is it? Yeah, yeah, no, yes. But it is like we know, we all know what it is. I came here, I came here, but where should I go? So, you are there, and I came. Where do I go? In your navels. And somebody then, no, yeah, it's okay. All right, it was very good, let's go. Then it means the child will not come, no child will come. So you should, you have gone by God, you in Nabal. And what was it? Very good. So he should come back. Hmm. Yes, you are the best one, you know. Yes, so you must have a very good woman for you, yes? And then, yes, and put her in the stove, in the bath, outside, and put it like this, yes? How, person, yes? So this is that. So we say that man is good, and my husband is my ho gaya, my husband is like this, my woman is okay, doesn't matter. Not more, not. When you will take it out from her, and he goes out to another, and there she wants to have my child. "From take it to me, you can." This is very much. "Doh kyā diyā kyā hanā?" You will be, how many years you will suffer? Then you will see who is their God. Then both man and mind have begun to doubt. Then they will both go. Some people, a woman with her husband, die every day. Or, wife has gone, a woman will come in a few days or something. Or mother-in-law and husband will be more or less, he will go. And sometimes she said, "He saved the children and them," but it is said, "I am in my child." My son is gone, but I am my child in this. Or my wife, my wife, my husband, my child. Husband said, "I will always be in my, everything I will give him, all, all pesha, this, that, giving you, working you, everything." So that is that. What is exactly what it is. Otherwise, it's okay. Okay? So you are many, and I'm really making you come to me and giving further that you should be like this, but like this. We will think further on these things, okay? My lecture, it is gone. Otherwise, I was many times, I'm not going to be a Bābājī, the guy. Yeah. Namaḥ Śivāya, Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya Namaḥ Śivāya, Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya... Hare Hare... Hara-hara-bhole-śiva, nama-śivāya, nama-śivāya, nama-śivāya-śiva, nama-śivāya, hara-hara-bhole-śiva. So, all four, what is your husband or your husband? Is a mother, and so much mother. Everything is her power, her thing. Everything, this is woman. Woman, all is great and great and... great. You are girls, yeah. And one that is a human. Yes, so that must be one, and why this one? This man, he will go to work and this and that and everything, but my husband must be four in my heart. That's it. So who helped him? I don't know. Who, by the time you were the man and woman? I don't know. Or someone is speaking like this, but not the midwife, the husband and wife. Oh, you can go, yes, hello, hello my friend, I made this and like this. But not marriage or like this. So, you see, there are many artists. Okay? So I will see that this is very good, that is good, and where is another here? So many things, but we are... my stomach is...
