Never eat meat so you become pure
Maintaining purity in life and diet is essential for spiritual progress.
You are pure people, but some are not. It is like walking in a nice place and suddenly stepping on a needle; something impure enters. When you gather here, you come from your homes. Eating pure food at home is very good. Giving this to your children is important; do not let them eat meat. Some people think they do nothing wrong, but then they go with their children and parents, and their purity goes down. You must look very, very pure. If you go with friends and they offer something, do not take it at all. This is Kali Yuga, a time of blackness. People wear black dress, always black. But black is okay; it is not that you must be completely black or white. Be as you are, but think carefully. Do not be completely black. In India, many people are also down, eating meat. Not all, but some. Your goal should be pure. When your dress is black, you go and work. But do not be like that always. When visiting friends, you must say you cannot touch that food. There was a pure disciple in Vienna who has died. You have everything very nice. Be good.
"Your goal should be pure, it should be the pure goal."
"When the heart is pure, then everything is pure."
