Guest guest Posted June 14, 2000 Report Share Posted June 14, 2000 Now, these dualistic sects in India are great vegetarians, great preachers of non-killing of animals. But their idea about it is quite different from that of the Buddhist. If you ask a Buddhist, " Why do you preach against killing any animal? " he will answer, " We have no right to take any life, " and if you ask a dualist, " Why do you not kill any animal?'' He says, " Because it is the Lord's. " So the dualist says that this " me and mine " is to be applied to God and God alone; He is the only " me " and everything is His. -- ______________________________ Today we continue Swamiji's lecture called: THE ATMAN (Delivered in America) This is a part of a daily study of the lectures and writings of Swami Vivekananda.
