Vegetarian Vs Non-Vegetarian

Swamiji, what would you say about eating vegetarian food and eating non-vegetarian food?

(Swamiji laughs!)

First, don't go around telling others not to eat non-veg food. In departments unknown, it is better not to involve yourself and get into trouble! You see: Certain issues cannot be resolved by logical reasoning. If we tell people not to eat non-veg food, they will ask you that like animals, plants also have life and why are we eating plants? What will you tell them? There is no end to this subject.

This much I can tell you: I am a pure vegetarian. I eat vegetarian food because it is conducive to my body, that's all. There have been many Enlightened Masters who ate non-veg food. Of course, when Enlightened Masters do certain things, we cannot pass judgment on them because their actions cannot be interpreted by our common dictionary. We will be misconstruing and missing the whole thing.

Just one thing: Don't categorize people based on their eating habits and don't force people to give up eating non-vegetarian food.
