While killing a plant or animal incur sin. That why lord krishna ask us to offer the food stuff to him first & then eat his remenants. I wish to highlight this point thro an e.g. For e.g solidier posted in kargil will kill any intruder in the region, still the Govt shower praise & reward such solidier with medal and promotion. If the same solidier kill his negibour the same GOVT will put in jail. Why is it so?. Because the first killing is authorised by GOVT , but second killing is not. That why lord krishna gives in B.G, the list of items he can accept as offering, non veg is not part of the list. Hari bol. SS Hare Krishna.

Although the plant and animal both are having soul but all conditioned souls(Which has come to this mortal world) are covered by the Three Modes of material nature(Goodness, Passion and Ignorance). Accoring to percentage of covering, soul gets the particular body. So in each body consciousness is covered but in diffrent percentage. Plants are having more covered consciousness than animals but that does not mean that plants are not having soul. Certainly even in Vegetarianism also there is sin but of very less quantity and you can also observe it practically.when we cut animal then it resists but plant does not show any resistance.So there is law of incurred sin according to the level of consciousness. To nullify the sin incurred by cutting plants, Lord Krishna gives a solution in Bhagvad Gita Chapter 3.13 "The devotees of the Lord are released from all kinds of sins because they eat food which is offered first for sacrifice. Others, who prepare food for personal sense enjoyment, verily eat only sin". He said that whatever product(Vegetarianism) one is taking one should first offer him and he will remove sinful reaction and then it will become sanctified food which we call prasadam. But Krishna has given the list of items in BG 7 th chapter and he did not included Non- Veg. in it. in the above article lord said that he is father of all living entity so he told us to protects animals.

Please do reply as I am eager to understand more on this subject. PS : I am following Vegetarianism by choice and ofcourse don't have any inclination to be Non-Veg any sooner. Dear Lndasa

The earth is created to be perfect and self sustainable, its because we humans meddle with its functioning that has caused all the imbalances that we see. So don’t worry about cattle population if we stop consuming meat the meat industry will be less inclined to factory farm cows for slaughtering. And the natural food chain will take over. Coming to Killing plants it is sin but not as much as killing animals eho have much developed consciousness Amen.

It is true that, the commandment says "Thou shalt not kill". But it is meant for human, not for animals. In the book of Genesis, God created animals for human to eat. I acknowledge, animal has soul, because it has life. Then do you deny, eating vegetables. A tree has life, a plant has life. Even when we pluck a flower, the plant gets pained. When we boil water, lot of bacteria is been killed. But don't you kill them? When you use Domex, lot of bacteria is been killed. Don't you kill them to clean your toilet. If Christians did not kill the chickens and cows, this earth would be filled with them than human. SO, I am thankful for them. This comment is not meant to hurt anyone. Sorry Brother,
