Reflections on a Time of Distance and Practice
A global situation has created distance and sadness, yet practice has continued at home. Spiritual exercises and yoga have been a support. However, many who practice still consume alcohol and meat, which harms the body and clouds the soul. A sattvic, vegetarian lifestyle leads to health and clarity, aligning with nature's provision of vegetables, fruits, and milk. Killing animals for food creates suffering and negative karma. True peace comes from harmonious living, seeing all humans as brothers and sisters. Practice diligently until the last breath, for the soul's exit determines the next journey. Spiritual nourishment from scripture is essential.
"Vegetarians are actually getting less sick, vegetarians are more healthy."
"Proper nourishment... One is physical... food... practice. And the second one is spiritual."
