Discretion in food (Hindi)

Food is mandatory for maintenance of life. Food for living being is verily a living being. One cannot eat any thing except a living being. One has to eat the thing which has life in it and only through this a body can attain nourishment. This is because the act of eating itself involves killing. And killing of living beings happen in act of eating food; as a result, violence is committed; so then what should people, who want to follow the path of religion or spirituality, do? Dadashri has given right understanding regarding such aspects. This will give the right understanding about keeping discretion in proper diet, to the seekers. Those who want to go to moksha, do not have right to eat two-sense developed or more than two-sense developed life forms. There is some violence in eating one-sense developed living beings, but Lord does not forbid the consumption of single-sense developed organisms because they do not contain pus or meat. In providing benefits to humans, these life forms also reap benefits for themselves. This progression into higher life forms is a natural process in the universe.
