[QUOTE="explorer, post: 120283, member: 2331"] The discussion over the issue of meat always goes into an inconclusive state. Grains and plant products are not killed to get any food from them, their are used at the end of their life-cycle in a productive way. If we donot pluck flowers/fruits or grains they are going to be wasted only. However the animal case is different; they are a part of the food cycle for the animals themselves in a specific order. Call it evolution/science(I prefer to call it Hukam) every animal know its diet. Incase of humans; idea of food is not limited to survival; its more than that : its about taste; smell; appearance ; status ; hygiene ; etc etc. Although the basic idea of food is about health & survival. Guru Nanak Dev has already said that arguing over meat is foolishness. however he has also criticised brahmins about their dubious character in "Asa ki Vaar" regarding meat. As per sikhism, the idea of food is about survival; to be healthy enough to remember gods name. For a sikh, the SRM becomes the guiding factor and it clearly states that : "Abhakhya the kutha nahi khaana" The Rehat Maryada is a code conduct for sikhs only; however SGGS is guiding light for everyone. In SGGS, if Guru Nanak Dev ji criticizes the clever brahman about the "abhakhya ka kutha" ; Bhagat Kabeer Sahib asks the devout muslims " Jab sab mein ek khudaaye kahat ho, tau kyon murgi maare" If you say that there is one god in all of us, why slaughter a hen? The point to be understood is that he is also criticizing the ritualistic aspect that on one side as a muslim you are keeping fast and offering prayer; on the other side by the same evening you are slaughtering hen for food. Now the question comes is why is jhatka allowed in sikh way of life. 1> Survival Time : Desires take back seat; the concern is to life and its survival; the mind is already in prayers; killing any animal for food is ok. 2> Halal is not only slowly killing the animal; its all about justifying the killing in the name of God. ================================================ For Sikhs, we must adapt to the underlying message of Gurbani and follow Rehat. For other, read through Gurbani in pursuit of learning(how to praise god and be one with). Wise are the one who seek more and quarrel not!! ======================================= [/QUOTE]
