namaskaram tony ji :

>>Namaste,Suresh,

I for one am a lacto ovo vegetarian,,,,that is I eat cheese, 'unfertilised non
battery eggs' and milk products. Fish is an animal, so not suitable to
vegetarians.
Animals have an entity in them, eggs do not, in the early stages. We can only do
the best we can...<<

eggs are the start of a 'life'.Therefore a living organism.Milk is a form of
blood,if one wants to interpret it that way.In fact,our mothers milk,is what we
subsisted upon,after birth,more often than not.Cheese is from milk.

>>Ahimsa should be the rule..<<

Even the air that we breathe ,has micro-organism,which has life.Its not possible
to be a perfect ahimsa vaadi,but we certainly can strive towards such a,dharma.

>>..A vegetable reacts but doesn't have the nervous system to endure pain like
an
animal that has its entity already entered..We kill when we breath or walk, ask
the Jains; So we can only do our best....don't eat anything with a face, or your
friends.All is life or consciousness anyway but the evolved manifestation in
illusion is different.<<

Dr.Bose proved scientifically plants,vegetables have life.Even though their body
structure is different to that of humans,but still life is a life.
Jain Muni ji's strive very hard to uphold ahimsa.Its a matter of relative
comparison,with other living organisms.


>>Some foods are tamasic but nothing as tamasic as some people's
characters..Hitler was a vegetarian so what does that mean?

Meat eating is a learned experience and an addiction like any other
addiction/attachment. ...Cheers Tony.<<

Humans are no different from any other living organisms.Its we humans,who have
elevated or classified ourselves as some sort of superior or inferior beings ,as
the case maybe.The divinity inherent in all is the same.Who is to judge the
'self' of all 'selves'.

Meat eating is just food.When we see live animals being butchered for food,the
karma of becoming an animal or the animal becoming a human or any form to get
even will happen.Its an endless cycle of,birth and death,which we enmeshed,no
matter whether vegetarian or non-vegetarian,imho.

As for Hitler,the lesser we discuss that monster,its better for humans. :)

suresh.cheers to you 2 :)
