Why MEAT should NOT be eaten - explained from a Spiritual perspective by Sadhguru

DISL Automatic · 3:23

In this practice

Key teachings

  • The concept of 'software' or information in all life forms, from plants to animals
  • The principle that consuming life with complex 'software' (like emotional beings) makes integration into one's own system more difficult
  • Ethical consideration of non-violence (Ahimsa) extended to dietary choices based on an animal's emotional capacity
  • The idea that deeply emotional creatures, such as cows, exhibit responses akin to human grief, making their consumption ethically equivalent to 'murder' from a spiritual perspective

Ideal for

  • Individuals interested in the spiritual dimensions of diet and food choices
  • Practitioners exploring ethical veganism from a philosophical or yogic perspective
  • Anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Sadhguru's teachings
