1. AHIMSA
VEGETARIANISM

2. In the regeneration and
divinization of man, the
first step is to eliminate the
beastly nature.
The predominant trait in
beasts is cruelty.
Therefore, wise sages
prescribed ahimsa. This is
a most effective master-
method to counteract and
eradicate completely the
brutal, cruel pashutva -
bhava in man.

3. “ ahimsa .. Is universal love ”
Practice of ahimsa
develops love.. ahimsa.. Is
another name for truth or
love. ahimsa.. Is universal
love. It is pure love. It is
divine ‘ prem ’. Where
there is love, there is
ahimsa.
The one message of all
saints, prophets of all times
and climes, is the message
of love, of ahimsa, of
selfless service.

4. Ahimsa.. Is the noblest and
best of traits that are found
expressed in the daily life and
activities of perfected souls.
Ahimsa.. Is the one means,
not only to attain salvation,
but also to enjoy
uninterrupted peace and bliss.
Man attains peace by injuring
no living creature.

5. “ ahimsa.. duty of man ”
There is one religion… the
religion of love, of peace. There
is one message, the message of
ahimsa. Ahimsa is a supreme
duty of man.
Ahimsa, or refraining from
causing pain to any living
creature, is a distinctive quality
emphasized by Indian ethics.
Ahimsa, or non-violence, has
been the central doctrine of
Indian culture from the earliest
days of its history.

6. “ ahimsa.. great spiritual force ”
Ahimsa, or non-
injury, means entire
abstinence from causing
any pain or harm
whatsoever to any living
creature. Non-injury
needs a harmless mind,
mouth and hand.
Ahimsa is true
sacrifice .. Ahimsa is
forgiveness.. Ahimsa is ‘
shakti ’ .. Ahimsa is true
strength.

7. If you are established in ahimsa,
you have attained all virtues.
Ahimsa is the pivot. All virtues
revolve round ahimsa. Just as all foot-
prints get accommodated in those of
the elephant, so also do all religions
and ethical rules become merged in the
great vow of ahimsa.

8. “ ahimsa.. Is soul force ”
Ahimsa.. Is soul-
force. Hate melts in the
presence of love. Hate
dissolves in the
presence of ahimsa.
There is no power
greater than ahimsa.
The practice of ahimsa
develops will-power to a
considerable degree.
The practice of ahimsa
will make you fearless.

9. Man is more than just body and
mind; human birth is given as an
opportunity and a means to attain
the sublime knowledge of his inner
spiritual nature and to regain his
divinity.
In this process, all gross-ness
and animalistic tendencies have to
be totally eliminated from the
human personality.

10. “ pure sattvic diet ”
Non-vegetarian diet.. which is
gross and animal by its very nature..
Is a great hindrance to this process..
Whereas, pure sattvic diet is a great
help to the refinement of the human
nature.
The chemical components of
different foods vibrate at varying
rate. Each practical of food is a mass
of energy.

11. The in-take of certain foodstuffs
sets up discordant vibrations in the
physical body which throw the mind
into a state of oscillation and
disequilibrium.
Moreover, flesh-eating involves
the exercise which is not an elevating
virtue. It is a bestial quality which
degrades man.

12. “ butchery.. A great disgrace ”
The cruel slaughter of animals and the taking
of innocent lives which flesh-eating entails
makes it abhorrent to all right thinking men and
women all over the world.
Butchery and bloodshed is a great disgrace
to civilization and culture. Killing of animals for
food is a great blunder; and the mentality it
engenders is fraught with potential dangers for
the life of humanity, a recognition of which
made George Bernard Shaw say that :

13. “ AS LONG AS MEN TORTURE AND
SLAY ANIMALS AND EAT THEIR
FLESH, WE SHALL HAVE WAR ”.
All slaughter-houses should be
abolished, and the use of animal flesh
as food should be absolutely given up.
Flesh-eating is unnecessary,
unnatural, and unwholesome.
