Namaste NM,

 

I read the blog and have some opinion on the same. Who said a large

brain indicated the highest manifestation of consciousness? This so

called developed consciousness is presently guaranteeing the death

of the planet and race perhaps within 100 years. No bodies of Moksha

then! An animal may be all the soul needs to become realised

for 'Love is 'God' and 'God' is Love' and an animal has no developed

ego to interfere with the free flow of Sakti.

 

Firstly it is not proven that Jesus ate meat. The greek word in the

gospels translates as food not meat. Secondly even today in some

places like Scotland, meat can mean any kind of food, vegetarian or

not. The particular Essenes whom Jesus was associated neither ate

meat or drank alcohol.

 

With regard to Vivekananda and Ramakrishna, I don't know whether

they ate meat or not, Ammachi also ate fish when she was younger at

least. I don't know whether any of these people were Jivanmuktas or

not as I am not one, but if one is a Mukta it matters not what one

eats, for Who is doing the eating? And what is eating?.

 

However for the rest of us, vegetarianism represents a developed

vijnanamayakosa to some extent and the feeling of Daya, without

which there is no Moksha IMHO.........ONS...Tony.
