Spiritual benefits of vegetarianism
The Mind
  • Bondage and liberation are states of mind. The mind, as a mass of vibrating energy, is limited the constitution or condition of that energy. If the energy is heavy or inert, little can be don it to produce the state of silence and clarity needed to reflect the truth of spirit. Certain elements darken the mind and make it thick or heavy, vibrating very slowly-sometimes seemingly an all. On the other hand, some elements lighten the mind, making it fluid and subtle, vibrating very high level. It is this latter condition that is needed for attaining the state of liberation rather, the state that liberates the spirit from the illusion of bondage and suffering. It is rea mind that becomes liberated, but that liberation also affects the essentially ever-free spirit sets it free. To attain such liberation the mind must be purified and refined, vegetarian die one of the best and strongest means for its purification.

Diet and consciousness
  • Although diet is commonly considered a matter of physical health alone, since the herme principle "as above, so below" is a fundamental truth of the cosmos, diet is a crucial aspect emotional, intellectual, and spiritual development. For diet and consciousness are interrel and purity of diet is an effective aid to purity and clarity of consciousness.
    The purification of our subtler levels depends upon the purification of our physical entity makes sense when we realize that all that goes to constitute a human being is formed of various types, and the only source of energy is that which is brought into the body through sunlight, air, and food. And it is material food that provides by far the greatest amount of energy from which our multilevel complex is shaped.
    When we realize that any physical object has all the levels which we do, namely, the physical bio magnetic, sensory, intellectual and will bodies, we can understand the importance of and quality of food we eat. For not only does the physical substance of the food become assimilated into our physical body, so also do the subtler energies become united to our levels. This is the teaching of the chandogya upanishad: "mind consists of food. That w the subtle part of milk moves upward when the milk is churned and becomes butter. In t manner, the subtle part of the food that is eaten moves upward and becomes mind. Thus, consists of food".
    We cannot get a marble statue from clay, nor can we get wheat bread from barley meal product is still going to consist of the nature of the material started with. So it is with al bodies, gross and subtle. They will reflect the character of the food which has gone int formation.

Frequently Asked Question

यदि जानवर ना काटे जाए तो चमड़ा, दवाई, और अन्य सैकड़ों काम की चीजें कहां से मिलेगी ?

आज के इस वैज्ञानिक युग में बनावटी चमड़ा कृत्रिम दवाइयां और अन्य अनेकों सुविधाएं सर्व सुलभ हो चुकी हैं| प्राकृतिक चिकित्सा की विभिन्न शाखाएं बड़ी लाभदायक सिद्ध हुई है| प्राणी पदार्थ के बिना भी आज का मनुष्य अपना काम चला सकता है, प्राणी वध बंद करने से प्राकृतिक संतुलन सुधरेगा और मांसाहार संबंधित रोग नहीं होंगे| जिसे दवाओं की जरूरत घट जाएगी| हिंसा से निर्मित सौंदर्य पदार्थों को बनाते समय जानवरों के साथ जो अपमान व्यवहार किया जाता है उस पर रोक लगेगी| हम आपसे पूछते हैं कि जब सारे जानवर मार डाले जाएंगे तब इन आवश्यक चीजों की प्राप्ति कहां से होगी?

क्या शाकाहार अपनाने से कसाई की रोजी रोटी नहीं चली जाएगी?

रोजी रोटी कमाने के हजारों तरीके हैं कसाई भी औरों की तरह अपनी आजीविका चला सकता है| प्राणी वध किए बिना उसे भूखा मरना पड़े ऐसा नहीं है, हम शाकाहार का प्रचार करने वाले कसाईओ का अहित नहीं चाहते कुछ संस्थाओं ने हिंसा छोड़ने वालों को आर्थिक सहयोग भी दिया है भलाई की ओर उठाए गए कदम आदमी काल में लाभदायक होते हैं| लॉटरी का धंधा करने वाले से मध्य प्रदेश सरकार की दुश्मनी नहीं थी फिर भी उसे दुष्परिणाम एवं लोगों की भावनाओं का ध्यान रखते हुए उसे बंद करना पड़ा|

मांसाहार का विरोध क्यों किया जाता है?

निशकारण किसी चीज का विरोध करना समय की बर्बादी है| मांसाहार से जुड़ी कुछ बुराइयां है, जो विरोध करने को विवश करती है स्वयं देखिए-

1. जो हरगिस मरना नहीं चाहता, उस असहाय प्राणी को क्रूरता पूर्वक जिंदा काट डाला जाता है|
2. बूचड़खानो में करोड़ों लीटर पानी बर्बाद होता है|
3.प्राणी हिंसा से जलवायु बहुत प्रदूषित होती है|
4. पशु हिंसा से अर्थ तंत्र का भी कत्ल होता है|
5. मांसाहार से भयंकर बीमारियां फैलती है|
6. प्राकृतिक संतुलन बिगड़ता है, इत्यादि|

पुरानी वस्तु अच्छी ही हो यह बात नहीं होती यूं तो चोरी, जारी, रहजनी, डकैती, जुआ और वेश्यावृत्ति भी काफी प्राचीन है क्या इन्हें भी अपनाए रहें| हमने कई पुरानी प्रथाओं यथा-सती-प्रथा, पर्दा-प्रथा, देवी दासी प्रथा, दास प्रथा आदि को अनुपयोगी व हानिकारक समझकर नकारा है| 1947 से पूर्व भारत वर्ष में राजतंत्र था, पर उनको समाप्त कर हमने एक स्वतंत्र गणतंत्र की स्थापना की|

अपने खानदानी भोजन को कैसे छोड़ा जा सकता है ?

यदि मनुष्य अपनी खानदानी परंपरा पर हमेशा अटल रहा तो यह तर्क अनुचित नहीं पर ऐसा होता कहां है? मनुष्य स्वार्थवश पुरानी परंपराओं को हमेशा तिलांजलि देता आया है|
उदाहरण देखें:-
1. किसी खानदानी रोग का उपचार मिलने पर कोई मना नहीं करता|
2. खानदानी निर्धन व्यक्ति धनी बन्ना सहर्ष स्वीकार कर लेता है|
3. मधुमेह होने पर खानदानी हलवाई भी मिष्ठान को छोड़ देता है भले ही उसके बाप दादा मिष्ठान प्रेमी रहे हो|
4. अनपढ़ खानदान के लोग भी पढ़ लिखकर होशियार बनना पसंद करते हैं तथा इस पर किसी को भी कोई आपत्ति नहीं होती|
5. किसी के दादा कातिल थे, फिर पिता ने भी एक जान ले ली| इस खानदानी परंपरा को तोड़ना ही सराहनीय प्रयास समझा जाएगा निभाना नहीं|
