SPIRITUAL REASONSIn terms of spiritual evolution, the animal kingdom is very close to the humans. In fact the humans also form part of the animal kingdom. Therefore, killing and eating animals is like killing and eating our brothers and sisters. Studies have shown that animals have reasoning abilities, feelings, and even emotions. Killing and eating them attracts negative Karma. At the etheric level, the negative vibrations associated with such actions contaminate our aura thus making us more prone to afflictions of the body, mind, emotions and spirit.
The Bible says, "Thou shalt not kill," but everywhere people are slaughtering animals and eating them. All religious scriptures promote non-violence as the first principle of religious life. Whatever we see is created by God. No one has the right to kill anything or anyone, because no one can create anything. We cannot create an animal. We cannot create even a mosquito, so we should not kill even a mosquito. Spiritual life means non-violence. Animals should be protected. This is confirmed thus in the Bible: Whatever you do unto the least of my brothers, you do it unto me. (Matthew 25:40) |
