[QUOTE="Randip Singh, post: 26276, member: 1323"] [LEFT] The point is of the essay that your diet won’t make you any more spiritual. Guru Nanak Dev ji saw life at all levels. He saw it at the molecular level and did not differentiate between plant, animal, or mineral. The only form of life he saw as different was human life (read the 84 million incarnations bit). Not really. In the same token surely if we eat vegetable we would have to go out plant the seeds, water them, put fertiliser on them, put pesticides on them, etc etc. Guru Nanak Dev ji talks at length of the pain of plants: [/LEFT] [I][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][LEFT]Page 143 of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji[/LEFT][/SIZE][/FONT][/I][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][LEFT][/left][/SIZE][LEFT][/left][/FONT][LEFT][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][I][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]mehlaa 1.

Because we don’t have to see the wildlife habitats destroyed for farming, the insects killed by pesticides, cows force fed to produce milk etc we become blinkered about the meat vegetable debate. Drink? I would put that at a million times worse than any one eating meat, because you are ineefct destroying this precious human life with it. True. That is the point. vegetarian diet is not necessarily the best, but a balanced diet most definitely is. To eat too much meat with give you problems. To have a diet based just on vegetarians, leave certain essential amino’s and vitamins lacking. Vegetarianism is a personal choice, and the folly of thinking meat eating is better than vegetarianism, or vegetarianism is better that meat eating is a foolish train of thought. So as Sikhs do we try to be vegetarians. NO As Sikhs do we try to be healthy. YES It is up to the individual to decide what is healthier for them.[/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
