It is considered inauspicious to keep a dead body in the house. Yet, in this modern civilization, what are we doing? We bring dead bodies from the market and place them in our refrigerator. You bury the bodies of your own parents and your own children in the graveyard. But the bodies of animals—the dead bodies of chickens, goats, and others—you bring into your house. A dead body is a dead body, whether from a human or an animal. The negative energies are equally present. So how can you imagine you will have a happy life? How can you expect there to be no divorce, no quarreling, or that your children will follow you? Children are always waiting to go out of the house; they do not feel good at home. They return from school not with a good feeling, but rush to finish their homework as quickly as possible because they want to run away. They meet their friends somewhere else. Why not at home? Then they come home to eat, and as soon as they finish, at eight or nine o'clock, they say, "Goodnight, Papa, bye-bye." And the father, without thinking, tells the child, "Have fun now." He does not know his child will have fun with drugs, or with criminal activities that may lead to death. Many parents do not think. If they say, "Don't go out," the children retort, "Who are you? I'm going, that's all." Why is this happening? Because in your home there is no good energy. With all this meat, these eggs, and these dead bodies lying in your fridge, in the cooking pot, and in your stomach—what do you expect? They possess a prāṇa, that fresh energy that makes you young, most certainly.
