Guest guest Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hey Sister Julie, It was what I heard from Prbhupada. He said go and look in the eye of a cow and take your knife and cut her throat, if you have the heart to do that, then you can eat. Your heart is so soft that you did not need to do the experience to realise that, it is not possible. Just by visualising it, you concluded, it is not OK. God bless you Credits go to Prabhupad Regards Shahin Julie wrote: > > I am convicted at this point to become vegetarian. It is a thought that has been resonating with me for awhile. And now I am convinced. And I LOVE the TASTE of a rare steak. But if I had to go out and kill it, skin it, and clean it, I would never eat it. The grocery store has disassociated me from reality with the perfectly packaged piece of meat/hamburger/chicken. Thank you, dear one, for your courage to expound your convictions. I don't believe that I can eat anything with a face any longer. I don't believe that food is that important. Just where I am on my path. And neither do I judge those who are carnivorous. > > So clean with a day of watermelon....and Rice is NICE........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Yes, my heart is VERY soft; but sometimes so is my HEAD. Thank you for guiding me back to where I was a few years ago. I just chose to forget. Must never FORGET....I am the one who escorts each little creature out to a nice leaf instead of SQUASHING him. Namaste, may we all live in peace and harmony Julie--- On Tue, 8/19/08, Shahin <sh1963sh wrote: Shahin <sh1963sh credits goes for Prabhupada Date: Tuesday, August 19, 2008, 6:02 AM Hey Sister Julie,It was what I heard from Prbhupada.
