Введение в Аюрведу
Шрифт:
“Убивая животных ради пропитания, человек подавляет в себе высшие духовные чувства - сострадание и жалость к другим живым существам, подобным ему, - и, переступая через себя, ожесточает свое сердце”. Лев Толстой
“Как можно надеяться, что на земле воцарится мир и процветание, если наши тела являются живыми могилами, в которых погребены убитые животные?” Лев Толстой
“Когда вся земельная собственность этой вселенной будет унаследована всеми творениями, можно будет найти какие-то оправдания системе, в которой к кому-то направляется поток неслыханных богатств, в то время как другие умирают от того, что им не хватает и горсти зерна” П. Р. Саркар.
“Животные - это мои друзья ...и я не ем своих друзей. Это ужасно! Не только страданием и смертью животных, но тем, что человек понапрасну подавляет в себе высшее духовное сокровище - сочувствие и сострадание к живым существам, подобным себе, растаптывая свои собственные чувства, становясь жестокими”.
Мы молим Бога озарить наш путь: “Даруй нам свет, о всеблагой Господь!”
Кошмар войны нам не дает уснуть, Но на зубах у нас животных мертвых плоть.
Джордж Бернард Шоу
“По моему мнению, вегетарианский образ жизни, благодаря своему чисто физическому воздействию на человеческий темперамент, оказал бы самое благоприятное влияние на большую часть человечества”. Альберт Энштейн
“Правда, что человек - это король животных, по своей жестокости он превосходит их. Мы живем за счет смерти других. Мы просто ходячее кладбище. С раннего детства я отказался от употребления мяса и придет время, когда человек будет смотреть на убийство животного так
“Мир на земле, или любой другой мир находится в огромной зависимости от состояния ума. Вегетарианство дает правильное ментальное состояние для мира.. .оно несет в себе силу лучшего пути жизни, который если станет всеобщим, может привести к лучшему, более справедливому и более мирному сообществу наций”. У НУ премьер-министр Бирмы.

КАЧЕСТВА ПРОДУКТОВ ПИТАНИЯ.
На Земле есть три драгоценности: пища, вода и добрые слова. Глупцы же считают драгоценностями камни. (Чанакья).
Чем же они драгоценны? Тем, что способны очистить наше сознание и вылечить тело, равно как убить и осквернить.
Поэтому необходимо обратиться к знанию, так как каждый день, проведённый в неправильном понимании питания и общения, ведёт нас к неминуемой деградации. Это первое, что должен выяснить для себя учитель, врач, родитель, психолог, астролог и священник.
В природе есть много очищающих субстанций.
Вода: куда бы ни попала вода – всё очищается. Вода незаменима в самых простых очищающих действиях: помыть место, где мы спали, прополоскать рот или вымыть руки.
