00:00What is it that would make a person quit harassing animals?
00:05Whether in the form of a lukatu or a leather belt or a shiny purse or a fur coat or milk tea or a flesh or zoos or pets or so many other forms of exploitation or even the things that we do to stray dogs.
00:24You cannot convince someone of health benefits. Meat eaters in general you may find are sturdier, taller. You go and tell someone that meat eating is not good for you and the doctors say that. Well that's true. In one particular position the doctor will tell you avoid red meat. In another position the same doctor will tell you eggs are very good for you. Oh this kid is underweight give him chicken soup.
00:53You cannot have any material argument. The argument has to be related to your identity as a suffering consciousness. That animal is conscious. So much like me.
01:11If I can exploit that animal I can do the same to myself. The thing within that bird is the same as the thing within me. Not only the same it is one. Therefore if I hurt the thing within the bird I am hurting the thing within me.
01:29So only when you are greatly interested in your own inner well being will you quit flesh consumption or animal harassment.
01:38Realisation of one's own true identity and depth in wisdom. This is the only way cruelty towards all living forms is going to stop or reduce.
