Just watch what happens 

when you eat meat: 

when you kill an animal 

what happens to the animal 

when he is killed? 

Of course, nobody 

wants to be killed. 

Life wants to prolong itself; 

the animal is not dying willingly. 

If somebody kills you, 

you will not die willingly. 

If a lion jumps on you and kills you, 

what will happen to your mind? 

The same happens 

when you kill a lion. 

Agony, fear, death, anguish, 

anxiety, anger, violence, sadness – 

all these things 

happen to the animal. 

All over his body 

violence, anguish, agony spreads. 

The whole body becomes 

full of toxins, poisons. 

All the body glands 

release poisons because 

the animal is dying 

very unwillingly. 

And then you eat the meat; 

that meat carries 

all the poisons that 

the animal has released. 

The whole energy is poisonous. 

Then those poisons 

are carried in your body.

That meat which 

you are eating belonged 

to an animal body. 

It had a specific purpose there. 

A specific type of consciousness

 existed in the animal’s body. 

You are on a higher plane 

than the animal’s consciousness, 

and when you eat the animal’s meat 

your body goes to the lowest plane, 

to the lower plane of the animal. 

Then there exists a gap 

between your consciousness 

and your body, 

and a tension arises and anxiety arises.
