MOTHER EARTH FEELS PAIN
§1
Hunting, the food chain and commercial killing
Book 1 · Food and drink: vegetarianism, meat, onion and garlic, alcohol Also: Karma, destiny and astrology, Mother Earth, nature and Govardhan
Well, nature has created a food chain, and hunting is a very natural thing. Most of the, let’s say, animals — predators they hunt for food.
Only human beings are known to kill for profit. So, hunting is all right. If you want to eat meat or something, go into the jungle, hunt and eat.
What any yogi has said is that going to a butcher shop and just buying it and eating it is not good. Killing commercially is not a good karma.
§2
Plants, animals, humans and Mother Earth feel pain
Book 5 · Mother Earth: her consciousness, our home and our God Also: Religions, history, society and science
We already know through science that even when you are breaking a plant or just plucking a leaf, the plant feels pain. I think it is an established fact.
So plants are feeling pain, animals are feeling pain, human beings are feeling pain. So it is very logical to assume that Mother Earth also might be feeling pain.
When there are so many nuclear tests conducted on her surface, so much mining activity has being done inside her, I’m sure Mother Earth also must be feeling pain, quite a lot of it. We need to actually think about it, and we should start caring about it. This is what I say.
