one of the yamas and niyamas is Ahimsa -non violence ( non-killing of anykind,
direct of indirect).
so what disturbs me is if plants do have life, are we not doing violence to
them even being a vegetarian. The reasons and benefits of being a vegetarian is
explained in several scientific ways. But spiritually it is said mainly to
observe non-killing or non-violence. then how about eating vegitables ,
especailly teh plant varieties. if we think plants have life, it is equivalent
of observing violence.
Could some on please, clear me of this Dilemma !
I am a non-vegetarian turned Vegetarian and abstain myself of all animal
products except milk. but my above questions puts me down all the time. i would
appreciate somebody helping me out in this.
Thanks in advance..
