Diseases Spreading through Eating Meat - 21 May 09

Swami ji

I read these days in many places about a disease called Swine flu which spreads in the world and people are in fear. I do not exactly know what it is and how it started or spreads but before, too, we have heard about bird flu in many countries where they even killed birds to prevent it from spreading.

In that time people were careful about what they eat and which meat they buy. I read that some of these viruses spread from animal to human also by eating animal meat. I always strongly recommend to all humans to eat vegetarian food. I believe that the human body is not made for meat but for a long time human has been following the tradition of eating meat.

Why can we not become more modern and develop our mind more to understand this truth: we are not made for non-vegetarian food? There are wrong ideas about vegetarianism and health for example when a doctor says that you have to eat meat for strength. According to that it seems like all vegetarians are weak and ill but it is not like this.

I wish human can develop their consciousness and stops killing animals to fill the stomach. They have a soul like us and god is there.

I agree, it is much easier to spread disease through meat and that mistreatment of animals is inhumane and bad for us as well as the animals. People are much less likely to get food-bourne illnesses on a vegetarian diet

Words of Wisdom

  • Religion

    There is proof in the scriptures that shows that the caste system is deeply based in Hinduism. We need to change this religious belief in order to stop the caste system.

    Source
  • Feelings

    People are not very sensitive towards their own feelings and the feelings of others anymore. It is the biggest loss of today’s time: the loss of sensitivity.

    Source
  • Belief

    Human always wants to believe what is suitable and comfortable for them. It is easier to follow the scriptures blindly without looking left or right than trying to deal with difficult issues.

    Source
  • Sex

    The average Indian person will tell you that it is wrong to have sex before marriage. They think sex is something dirty, even if they are married. Before being married however it is thought to be a sin!

    Source
  • Spiritual

    Spirituality may be different for everyone but if you have a meaningful life, no matter whatever this is for you, you live in spirituality. If you feel that you fulfill your purpose of life, you are happy and that is true spirituality.

    Source
  • Religion

    I don’t believe religion was previously good and pure. On the contrary, I believe it was made with the purpose to manipulate and control people. When religion was created, people were afraid of things they could not understand. Religious people gave explanations and could thus control them, taking their fear like a leash. That is not pure, that is not good!

    Source
  • Life

    Nobody knows what will happen in the future. If we knew what would happen tomorrow, the whole mystery, the adventure, the surprise and the beauty of life would be gone!

    Source
  • Game

    Don't play for winning but for having fun. The aim is not being better and if you lose, there is no reason to be sad. This is the game. Somebody will lose, somebody will win. A game is there for enjoying. Winning and losing is part of the fun.

    Source
  • Freedom

    We all have to be like children. We need to find our inner child which is innocent and has the freedom to express.

    Source
  • Silence

    Giving unpleasant answers can be avoided by not answering at all.

    Source
  • Superstition

    Superstitious people don’t trust in themselves or their abilities and decide that it was not their work or talent that brought them money and success but some mysterious force. Obviously this makes them insecure, as they never know when their luck could leave them - so they have to keep on following superstition, trying to remain successful!

    Source
  • Relationship

    Don’t fight after breaking up! The other one is someone whom you once loved!

    Source
  • Religion

    Religion is a firm and strict structure whereas spirituality is soft and flowing. Religion presses into clear and edgy shapes whereas spirituality makes round and soft. Religion comes from the mind and spirituality from the heart.

    Source
  • Body

    You need to learn to be happy and satisfied. You should be healthy and feel happy and good with your body.

    Source
  • Sects

    Sects create fear. Fear of life, fear of sins, fear of god. Believe in love, not in fear. There is no reason to be afraid. Love is God and God is love

    Source
  • Sex

    The push of sexual force onto your mind can even make angry and violent. That is why it is good to let sexual energy flow in body and soul, not in the mind.

    Source
  • Life

    Do anything that makes you feel good. We have this life now and we need to live it. There is always time to enjoy life, we just have to take it!

    Source
  • Religion

    In a certain Hindu celebration, believers worship the goddess and that is only seen in small girls before they have started menstruation. The menstruation thus degrades her from being the goddess to someone similar to an outcast.

    Source
  • Religion

    Religion started as a tool to explain the inexplicable.

    Source
  • Magic

    Siddhis are not real. Don't be afraid, nobody can do anything to you!
