Being vegetarian is essential to reach the highest states of samadhi, enlightenment, or self-realization.

Learn how being a vegetarian can lead to a healthier mind and body, making it easier to concentrate and meditate, and ultimately leading to a more divine and pure way of living.
By eating meat, a person collects karma. It is suggested to eat vegetables, grains, and fruits as these living beings are in a "vegetable state" and do not feel pain.

Thank you! Finally, someone who speaks out what I think. Becoming Vegetarian, in my eyes is the most obvious/most important thing to become as Spiritual person.
I don't know how many "Spiritual People" I came across on Spiritual Forums that claims, "It's ok to eat meat."
Let the truth be told...
AMEN!
A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite. And to act so is immoral.
-Leo Tolstoy, Russian novelist (1828-1910)
Vegan for life
The best thing I ever did was giving up meat...I respect ALL life & I love animals...we can learn a lot from animals, they are nature at its best & I have seen animals behave better than humans on many occasions! :-)
According to Autobiography of a Yogi - the Indian physicist Satyendra Nath Bose created some type of instrument able to read the magnetic fields of both animate and inanimate objects. And the book says plants basically give off a sonic scream when they are cut down, and their field fluctuates wildly. I originally heard something like this from elsewhere, and then saw it in this book not too long ago. I certainly don't fully comprehend the implications, but this is what I understand.
Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1955) - It ill becomes us to invoke in our daily prayers the blessings of God, the Compassionate, if we in turn will not practice elementary compassion towards our fellow creatures.
Good arguments. I've been vegetarian for 2.5 years.
"Love animals, don't eat them", as one said on CZcams.
I think one of the main reasons western culture has not adopted the vegetarian ideas is because we are trained to want meat from all the television and advertisements we see around us. so much so that vegetarianism in north america is almost looked down upon. thinking that we need to be tough killing machines instead of compassionate, thoughtful individuals. well thats just my take on it

Great message beautifully put.
Like some comedian once said: its hard to call yourself an animal lover, and then eat them. Its just a strange way to show your affection. thats like calling a cannibal a "people person".
Thank you so much for sharing wisdom !!!!!
Stillness
Peace and blessings!!
I took the first step :-) Thank you...!!
Awesome video and information!!
That's great, thanks.
Every living being has the right of freedom.
By eating meat, one acknowledges torture, pain & crime can be done upon them because, while taking life of any living creature all these sufferings are involved. Even if one ignores this and continues to eat non-veg food, Law of Karma ensures these torture, pain & crime will be done on them either in this lifetime or in next incarnation.
great video, i learned a lot and am considering being a vegetarian now.
whenever I try vegetarianism I feel sick, weak and tired. what can i do about that?
Excellent video! :)
❤❤❤❤❤
We don't need to eat through the mouth, we can live on sunlight.
Thankyou - tell this to Eckhart tolle!
Good video.
@BabyGirlGoddess A journey of 1000 miles begins with one step. Don't focus on the end result but instead focus on each step you take. I don't know you personally but I know you can become vegetarian. It is a lot easier than it looks.
super
@mark1983peace good job! keeping fit is very good i think.
I don't know if I can stop eating meat forever starting right now, but I am willing to work toward it by eating less and less meat until, maybe, I don't eat any at all.
I see what you mean, and I don't think it is "crazy" to have respect for other living creatures. If anyone wants to see what is meant by cruelty, I hope they will watch some videos on slaughterhouses.
Eating a hand full of nuts could give you a good load of calories. Or heck, potato chips for that matter! I've been vegan for 30 years, and am an avid runner, cyclist. Always seem to maintain same body weight.
@Rasdre420 i go by whether or not something has a brain to determine if it can feel pain or not. plants die, take sustenance, etc. but there's no brain to experience pain. ditto bacteria in yoghurt, etc. what do you think?
There are some awful farms, with many downer disabled cows forced to move to the milking sheds with electric prods and the like. Also many of the calves are sent to slaughter for veal, and then the dairy cows are slaughtered once their milk is no longer up to standard.
The egg could have been life. Not the milk. It is also important to note that only drinking milk from a cow that has not been mistreated or abused is ok. So there is no milk you can buy in a store and it being ok, even if it is organic.
@MusicalAdrian how are you working on this? After watching the video i am now a bit worried that i eat meat and fish, that it is wrong. but i really like meat and fish! I seriously dont know if i could stop..
I've been vegetarian for about a year now (since Acharya Shree's last video on vegetarianism), but I am a fitness fanatic and need more calories than I would need for survival in order to build and maintain muscle, do you think this is OK? If they are in an unconcious state an don't feel anything, is it wrong of me to eat a little extra everyday, or is more it a case of, "what right do I have to unnessecarily cause the death of even a plant?"
@Simon0 ask yourself one question is meat really that good is it the pleasure really thta good that you cnat live without it after all its just food...pleasure from food is the lowest form of pleasure is it really worth it?....besides theres still dairy products...and i for one also eat eggs cos i cant survive on only vegetarian food i dont see how eggs can feel pain
We could also hydroponically grow all food. Leading to a more efficient and fresher food source, In fact so efficient it would end world hunger.
eggs?? someone help meh!! namaste
im a little worried about this, karmic effects of eating meat. but i like meat and fish too much to stop eating it.. and i dont really like a lot of vegetarian food so i would be pretty limited.
Didnt u pay attention at what he said about the senses?
Wasn't Hitler a vegetarian? Diet isn't the key in being spiritual. However, eating sustainably produced food shows greater awareness and compassion.
Food shall be Satvik (pure) in nature. It should be easily digestible. Non-vegetarian food requires more effort from digestive system and hence it increases the body temperature, rate of metabolism. This would create uneasiness towards practice and practice will not give any fruitful results.
@rm80cpower nice.
If one kills animals in self-defense, such as spraying pesticides to kill cockroaches and rats, does that count as bad karma?
it means your diet its not correct, you don't eat correct food and don't get the vitamins which you need. get the vitamin supplements, eat 5 different fruits a day , eat cereals/porridge and vegetables every single day. drink plenty of water and exercise well at least 30min once a day
It does sound interesting, and this may sound like a foolish question, but where would you get your protein from? No milk? No eggs?
Every food: fruit, veggies, seeds&nuts all have protein
Drake Oliver Nuts, Seeds, Beans, Legumes. All filled with protein
The souls that are born in to an animal life is probably aware of the ecosystem. They know that being eaten is part of the life they will live.
Veggies.
Is eating vegetables not the same as eating an animal's fetus? Some food for thought.
Namaste.
Some people on this planet, mainly India I think don't eat anything at all. They're food is the light. And this is difficult I suggest. So are they even more spiritual?
Why am I seeing a mcdonalds quarter pounder ad in the upper right on this page? For real, no joke...:-)
my neighbor, a farmer in portugal offers me homemade sausage from pig that his wife made.
HE IS PROUD OF THE QUALITY: shall I refuse and say this food I cannot accept? you do wrong eating meat?? just another aspect:-)
If the egg is non fertilized then it's okay to eat the egg
Plants are living beings too you know...
yes but to eat an apple , you don't need to kill the apple tree!
and what with the B12 vitamine??¿?¿ and milk and eggs?¿?¿? can I eat them???
If you want you can bro.
Nobody will stop you.
Bless :)
Vitamin B12 is found in plants
Andres varas B12 is in Hemp Seed Milk
Andres varas There are vitamin companies that make vegan B12. Solgar is an old, proven company that produces excellent vegan supplements, if you feel you need more B12. Also, Red Star nutritional yeast has lots of B vitamins and is delicious sprinkled on most foods.
Analyze why you suffered from physical pain or mental pain in the past? Was there any immediate reason why it happened on you? You could not figure it out because you forgot the crime you did. But Law of Karma is ensuring you will be going through the same phase as what you caused to other living beings in the past.
I think vegetarianism is great. But it would not be suitable for eskimos or bedouins, both living in lanscapes vertually without any vegetation.
I agree with this to a certain extent, but I have tried going without meat and I just waste away.
He means Vegan
VEGAN not vegetarian you either make the connection or you don't
Respect for Life is first of all respect for your life source. It doesn't mean that no animal should be killed because some animals can only eat other animals. That is their life source, and they respect their nature. But Humans don't respect their nature which is herbal, as we are primates. Many who claim that meat is necessary to eat are just egoistic people who love meat for its good taste, cooked&spiced.I'd love to see these people hunting an animal with their bare hands and eating it alive.
What about animals who eat meat? I know that's not the same thing as humans eating meat but they are still eating a five sense animal.
I agree with some of the things you are saying, but it was very long and repetitive. It's not necessary to say the same thing again and again, otherwise it sounds too forceful... almost like persuasion.
Ghandi? Albert Einstein? They are not me. I don't have to follow them or their ways. I will go my own path.
That being said, I would like to try vegetarianism.
eternal vegan punish the animal killers...
lmao you are pushing it way too far XD
