Let us not fill our bodies with garbage

[Guest guest]

Once a garbage collector went insane, and, gathering rubbish from all corners

of his neighbourhood, brought it into his apartment. Soon the other members of

his family were forced out due to the foul stench. The garbage collector was

soon likewise forced out into the cold, and in a very short time caught

pneumonia and died.

 

Similarly those who fill their bellies with slaughtered corpses of innocent

creatures, who live to eat rather than eat to live, and who seek elevation

through intoxicants, very soon force the jiva within to leave its house of a

material body. In other words, filling the residence of this body with the

garbage of unrestrained illicit delights is suicidal for the resident.
