Sirs, >> So to say,ATTITUDE is more important than ATTITUDE< I meant to say So to say,ATTITUDE is more important than APTITUDE -----Original Message----- From: Vishwanathan Nagarajan <nvc_vishwanathan@xxxxxxxxx> To: SriRangaSri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sun, 28 Aug 2005 15:01:31 +0100 (BST) Subject: [SriRangaSri] does plants have life? 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.
