When ever I get head ache or fever. I just go and hug my cow, seriously in 15 my head ach and fever flew away. It’s all about emotional touch. I love my cow.

I prefer to be a vegan.thank you

Already a vegan, my heart goes out to all the animals out there, wish human could change their behavior show love and compassion to them instead of just filling up their stomachs

I was flexitarian for 5 years 1 year vegetarian and now I’m vegan it’s been three months, thank you

I used to love meat. Once I became enlightened I literally started to “feel” the emotions of the animal (fear, anger) about 20 minutes after I ate. Those emotions weren’t mine. They Had to be the animals emotions because the animal was maybe afraid of being slaughtered. Ever since then I couldn’t eat meat because I would feel afraid for no reason after. Vegetables and fruits have me feeling higher than life right now! One of the best decisions I’ve ever made was to switch to vegetarian/vegan! I think I might try some fish again soon though. I feel like my body needs a little bit of it for the health and brain benefits. Other than that, vegan/vegetarian it is!

All animals are sentient intelligent creatures, all on a soul journey, just as we are. These sentient beings are here to experience, to learn, to teach & to serve. Our task as human is to co-operate with, look after and learn from all sentient beings & do no harm! Humans generally believe themselves to be apart from ‘animals’, when really we are a-part of them. Humans who are healthy are filled with love and compassion for everything. Compassion is the highest form of intelligence. Old ideas are rooted in old conceptions and must be eliminated. Then and only then can new ideas be born. I love all God’s creatures, all animals great and small, wild and domesticated. Every creature and every insect, bird and fish has its own special place in life. They are just as important as we are. All life matters, all beings matter, all of nature matters. They deserve our love and protection.

100% I agree with him this is what I also tell people when they ask me why I don't eat beef

I agree with u sir they also have feeling emotions we can see it on their face when they are taken to be slaughtered they have tears in their eyes they want to save themselves but unfortunately they are unable they quietly stand their looking their own being killed and waiting their turn to come really sad i wish if all this could stop one day

On the issue of food that can be eaten, Sadguru has given an excellent explanation. Please allow me to add some points on this issue for your benefit. The main principle to acknowledge is that in order to exist, in order for the universe to function as intended by the Creator, one living being must eat another living being to exist. You cannot eat plastic or stone or metal. You'll die if you do. Similarly, a cow or a tiger must eat another living being to continue existing. That's a fact of life. It's an immutable truth of the universe. Now, at the stage of human life, what should you eat? As stated earlier, human beings will have to eat another living being to exist. So how should an intelligent human being choose which living being to eat? Yogis have divided food into three categories - sentient, mutative and static. Static food is food that may or may not be good for the body but is definitely harmful for the mind. It includes meat, seafood, intoxicants, mushrooms, onions and garlic, and some fruits and vegetables. Sentient food, on the other hand, is food that is good for the body and for the mind. It includes most grains, legumes, pulses, nuts, fruits, vegetables, herbs and milk. Mutative food includes spices, medicines, carbonated drinks, tea and coffee, among others, which can excite the nervous system to some extent. A human being should only take the sentient food and a little mutative food. A spiritual aspirant must take only sentient food. He or she should avoid very spicy food. The principle to remember is that you are what you eat. Why should spiritual aspirants take only sentient food? Spiritual practice is a very tough Himalayan climb, in fact much tougher. To control the tumultuous waves of the mind is probably the most difficult thing a person can do in his or her life. Taking static food only adds to that excruciating difficulty. You ingest the quality of the animal as you eat it, and it affects the mind and quality of your thoughts. When your mind becomes animalistic by ingesting meat, doing spiritual practice is next to impossible. Hence, the need for sentient food only. (Nature has provided milk with a purely sentient quality. So you should take it. Here, I'm not going into the argument of the ill treatment of animals, otherwise we will lose our focus.) To be sure, even vegetables have some form of primitive consciousness. They have some basic emotions like fear, happiness, contentment, a sense of their own existence and the need for security, etc., just like human beings. Science has proven this point. So I won't labour on this point. The point is for the human species to continue to exist and evolve as a sentient species, human beings should choose a plant based diet rather than a meat based one. Why? Because you should only eat a living being with a lesser degree of consciousness. The consciousness of plants is much lower than the consciousness in animals. Perhaps, in the future, when science is more developed, you wouldn't have to eat even fruits and vegetables to survive. You could just pop a pill that would address your nutritional needs. Some mystics have developed the ability to live only on vital energy from air and sunlight. But that's not the way for people in general.

Top athletes and celebrities like Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma have also turned vegan

You can cut a limb of a plant and it grows back, not the case for innocent voiceless and most vulnerable ANIMALS!!!

Eating vegetables is not cruel, but yes eating anything that comes off or out of an animal is very cruel and a strange trend in human history

3:57 life definition: 1. the period between birth and death, or the experience or state of being alive. 2. a way of living or a particular part of someone's life. (last time i checked plants don't give birth, and they don't have experiences, plants are not someone they don't have nervous system & brain) they react to stimulates like your iPhone reacts to voice. it's irrelevant to say taking Plant life is the same as taking an animal life because animals can suffer and feel pain but plants don't.

“Law is not needed more education is needed” - Sadhguru

When I eat meat 🍖 I feel like I’m eating 🍽 human meat 🥩 yuck 🤢

Vegan4life!

Intelligent people have walked this planet, spending a lot of their time and intellect consulting the issues of life.... and then we have Gurus interpreting life the way they understand it... and then we have the non-challengers accepting all that the gurus say....I say Question everything!

Thanks. May I also know the name of the beautiful music?🙏

Go vegan..🙌🙌🏵️

I'm vegetarian and proud to be a vegetarian .... because I am helthy person

Made me feel so bad about cow.

which song is that at the end? can anyone share the link please?

I greatly admire the point about eating according to your vocation. If there are some samples of this information through books etc. I would be interested in finding it. and sharing it widely. It would be of great benefit to us all. Thank you for this video and all your work. JR

Watching from Australia; thank you for this video. Am on plants now, and regret not sticking to it; waivered off and on for some time. I am also a fan of Dr Sebi - Alkaline Electric diet. My health is slowly improving.

I eat plant based but sometimes I eat vegetarian food with eggs/milk. I still don’t see the need of saying I’m vegan because if someone invites me to eat ice cream, or if someone I visit offers a meal with eggs or milk, I’d eat it. I just can’t bear the thought of eating a cadaver 😔

Stopped eating meat long time ago without any reason my life has changed a lot for the better It's self control that is needed

Nice speech takes place as long as there is nice audience.

Helpful... Thank you Guruji.

Tq Sadguru, tat was really very informative.

Think...... it is best to ban meat exports/imports should be banned in india.

"Faith can move a mountain" means faith is needed to overcome obstacles , otherwise we would not be putting out abilities to 100% if we dont have faith and are sceptical about overcoming an obstacle

I LOVE THIS.

Hari....om..verry cool conversation. ...... .

God bless you Sadhguru 🌹

Yes we have canines and intestine to digest meat but that does not mean we should always use that...Non-Vegetarianism is not absolutely wrong.. Only condition is that it should not violate the concept of Minimization of Harm based on the availability of choices or what people mean by Least Harm principal. And Harm of what? Harm of nature and life on earth overall... Remember friend, Krishna in the Bhagwad Gita says what is not good for earth and her climate, is not good for human society as well and what is not good for society can never turn to be good for you as well. And one more point, there's a significant difference between eating things to live and exploiting things to enjoy.

If trees&plants scream,then,why sadhguru use wodden bench instead of other during pravachan?🤔🤔because most of the furniture are made from cutting down of trees.

👍👍Already uploaded

People love dogs n cats, why not we love same to otr animals? 😑 Why we eat them? We're human, we can feed ourselves with otr things, why meat only?

Cashew trees live to 100. I get apples from an orchard that is 50 years old. Plants that give fruits, nuts, peppers, beans, etc do not suffer. They produce things that are meant to be eaten. The plants did this long ago so that animals would spread the seed. This is not harmful or cruel in any way to consume these plants.

A plant have no Central Nervous System to feel (a pain or emotion) 🤦 Animals in slaughter houses are getting tortured and tormented right from their day of birth

Thankyou sadhguruji

To all the plants and/or animals who have sacrificed that I may eat.... Thank you.

Hanuman has moved mountain.

I agree with Sadhguru.

Do plants have emotions too?I read on Google one article in that it was written plants too have emotions

Exactly.. education is needed..

Very good.

Its not all about the religious fact infact it is all about our culture and tradition which binds us with our beloved mother 🐄 cow.

👃om sree gurubhyo nama 👃💛💛💛

If we shouldn't eat certain things... What is the purpose of it? Is it merely not good? Or we gonna have the effect of it in another birth... Why to worry about a life which no one can prove... Or are we gonna be punished if we meat after our life.. And who will punish then?.. If there is no life after death then what harm if I do all the bad thing in the world.. It does t make sense unless there is a consequence which threatens it..

It's 16months I don't even touched meat Thank u sadguru

Stop using misleading titles. He never said no to eating but being conscious of what you’re eating. Please don’t spread confusion. Use your channel responsibly.

It is a matter of consequence. If you can bear the consequence of eating a cow or a plant or a human then do it. It is your life. But Sadhguru teaches us to minimize the consequence as much as we can so as not to destroy are self-being. We should be strong enough to bear the burden of eating another life form.

Around 4:38 I wish to know, what happens when a dead person is buried, and the worms eat the body....

It makes sense 🤔💪🏽☝🏽🙏🏽📿❤️

Yes our karma is our own. But God is guiding us. He is within us. And we are walking back to him

Cattle farming has become a huge burden on the ecosystem due to deforestation for grazing land and water consumption to grow feed for cows and most of all from the methane that cows expel, methane gas is far more harmful than CO2 as a greenhouse gas emission. And the runoff of nitrogen associated with cattle manure and fertilizers to grow feed into waterways is also polluting the water causing toxic algae blooms. Oh, and let's not forget the heart disease from eating meat. I've heard Sadhguru say that the lower down the food chain you eat the better and eating fish is ok too. That's what I've been doing for the last two years and feel great!

rip to all life taken by lack of compassion

Regarding the cow spiel, how is it ok to drink the milk of the female cow if there is similar cruelty involved in getting to lactate in the first place? This is the very issue vegans have with drinking milk. Factory farmed or not, one still must get the cow to produce babies in order for it to get it to start lactating over again. Someone can please correct me if I’m wrong but female cows just don’t spontaneously produce milk in their entire life cycle.

Oooo but alas plants have emotion too. Scientist have documented that a plant knows when it's on fire and it's in distress

Marvelous

Goooooooooood!

How is it more moral for India to be the top exporter of beef, instead of some people eating the same in India? Shamelessly, India exports more beef than Basmati rice.

Slaughtering innocent animals mercilessly makes me impassive, when I see the mortality rates going up due to covid.

Apsolutly fentastic answer.people need more education about meat eating.

Why do we have canines???

As I age, I consume less and less meat, it's not about what's right or wrong for me but more on what the body feels, meat makes me tired easily

Same goes for buffaloes. We drink buffaloes milk too. Amul is all abt buffaloes milk.

Nobody said to move a mountain in reality-faith can move a mountain simply means , if we have strong faith, we can do the impossible.

💕💕💕💕💕💗✨

Thanks to internet we have lot of information available to understand about the ideal food for us. Please look for Dr Neal Barnard, Dr John McDougall, Dr Nandita Shah, Dr Dean Ornish among many others and I guarantee that your confusion will go away.

I'm Vegan forever, I don't eat meat neither nothing from animal beens

Is fish ok to eat?

I am very emotional towards plants so I cant be cruel to plants .so I am strictly non vegitarian

Kyu Barkha aap nonveg khaati hai kya

🙏🙏🙏❤

❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Sadhguru said himself that plant has life, plant has emotions, even plant screams while they are being cut, then whats the difference? Doesn't goat have emotions? Chicken, ox or buffalo? Dont we consume buffelo milk, even goat gives milk. Dont they? Can anybody explain??

Even drinking cow's milk isn't great for the body. It's optimal for baby cows, not humans. If you want calcium, plants are the best :)

Is it okay to eat eggs then😕???

We are all animals 2

I open this & get hit with a advert for buggers really lol

I have feelings too...like I FEEL hungry for some smoked tenderloin. Or fried fish.

Great knowledge pranam Sadhguru🙏

Ask Modi to stop exporting beef and then we will talk .

😔........

SPECIESISM IS WRONG, IMMORAL. May ALL BEINGS be happy & free.

You should never move a Mountain# but people with dozen minds want to move a mountain ~ I love Sadguru

We are not what we eat, that's why food can't make us. This body was and will be without. We are all the same, so why eat others? Just be what they are. Light.

Each time I eat a happy chicken egg, I think of its mother in gratitude (and hope she is still alive and enjoying herself).

Vegan 4 Life, Vegan 4 Everyone

Oh Lord that's gonna be tough for me. I come from a long line of meat eaters. I dream of steaks 😭

i love meet

I have some questions to u sir ......please answer It anyone I am a hindu myself ......and i want to ask u thak if we eat a plant it becomes a human inside us if a dog a plant it becomes a dog inside it now we a tiger eat a cow would it not become a tiger inside it ????? Again don't we eat milk by bufallows and goat and eating them ist mentioned by sadhguru that its bad for us .....bhagwan created this world and made many things carnivorous and omnivorous ......

Yo i want to stay at your place guru....hope u reply

When people talks only about ban on cow slaughter then it certainly seems some political and/or religious agenda. If eating meat is really bad then one must think why God didn't gave us the knowlege of farming (growing vegetables and fruits) right at the start of human evolution? And what should people do where it is not possible to grow fruits and vegetables?

Really? Has anyone lived closely with plants and felt theri emotions? Just asking...

my request with sadguru...why not you suggest to modi to stop beaf selling to America.... instead of tea???

Faith can move a mountain, this is taken from the bible. Here faith does not literely means mountains. It can means so many things like problems, sickness bankcruptcy, pain etc etc in you and your family. Jesus said if you have faith as small as musturd seed you comand that mountain to move it will move. Here it means if we have faith in God that he can solve our problems which are like mountains in our life God can.
