"You're What You Eat!" This popular saying suggests that whatever we eat will shape our spiritual path, including our physical & mental state. There is a science behind vegetarian food, so if one wants to progress spiritually, vegetarian food is the supreme. Let's understand it in depth from Pujyashree Deepakbhai.

00:00Ron would appreciate a better understanding of implementing a vegetarian diet.
00:06A man once said something to the effect,
00:11I do not want my body serving as a graveyard for chickens.
00:18So may we conclude that one cannot eat anything that is non-living
00:25and that things are only edible if they contain life.
00:30Yes, if we are vegetarian then it is helpful for our spiritual progress.
00:37In any religion, every religion says don't hurt other living person.
00:47So we are killing five senses.
00:52That chicken is five senses.
00:55So we should not hurt any living things.
00:59And our body, our teeth, our eating system, everything, our drinking system, everything is vegetarian.
01:09Non-vegetarian, you can observe their teeth are different, their drinking style is different, their stomach is different.
01:16So our body is meant for vegetarian only.
01:19And we can understand if something, if needle we are, or some blade is there and if we put on our hand, it doesn't feel good because we are having pain.
01:33So when we are killing that chicken, too much pain to that chicken, that chicken is experiencing, I have too much pain, they are going to kill me, I don't want to die.
01:48They can experience.
01:49Only one sense, it is living thing.
01:55Vegetables, beans, fruits, these are one sense.
02:00But their development is very beginning stage.
02:06And five senses, they have developed from one sense to two sense, two to three sense.
02:11After so many lives, infinite lives, they have developed to four sense and then five sense.
02:17So if we kill one sense, we are losing only, say, five dollar.
02:22And if we kill five senses, we are losing a thousand dollar.
02:30Suppose one five-floor rebuilding with full interior decoration, everything decorated, everything finished.
02:38And if we destroy that thing and we put only five bricks, we put and we will destroy five bricks.
02:46How much loss in five brick and five-floor rebuilding?
02:49Is there any difference?
02:52So here, one sense means five bricks only, and five sense means five-floor building with interior everything.
03:02So, when we kill five senses living creatures, two things we are losing.
03:09We are demerit karma also, we are charging, as well as the food, whatever goes in our body,
03:20that will make covering, so our spiritual grasping will reduce.
03:27So, both ways we are losing.
03:30And that living thing will take revenge on us.
03:35Why you kill me, I will also kill you.
03:38So, revenge will be there.
03:39For one sense, very less responsibility.
03:43For five senses, it is too much responsibility.
04:07Okay.
04:08Bye.
04:09Bye.
