Srila Prabhupada Short lectures part of Srimad Bhagavatam Short lectures series class by Srila Prabhupada on the topic of Bhagavata Purana and Bhagavad Gita
Understanding Human Consciousness and the Choice of Diet
In this enlightening discussion, the speaker ponders over the dietary habits of humans in comparison with animals. He emphasizes that despite being part of the animal kingdom, humans are uniquely endowed with conscience and discretion. He strongly suggests that our diet, which encompasses grains, fruits, milk, and meat, goes beyond the natural dietary laws followed by animals. Illustrating with the example of a tiger, he explains how humans have strayed from their natural eating habits, leading to unnecessary harm to animals. The speaker further explicates that human teeth are designed for a herbivore diet and not for meat-eating, unlike a tiger's. The discourse concludes with a call for increasing human consciousness and embracing Krishna consciousness or God consciousness as a way to live peacefully and healthily, utilizing our capacities correctly.
