00:00There are many who say, you know, eating flesh is alright.
00:02If eating flesh is alright, why is it not alright to eat human flesh?
00:06A line is drawn between the human being and the animal.
00:11You say, no, the human being cannot be eaten because he is highly conscious.
00:15I want you to draw the line between apple and the animal.
00:20You are anyway drawing a line.
00:22It is not that you eat flesh wherever it is available.
00:26Why don't you kill a human baby if flesh is all that you want?
00:30Why don't even habitual flesh eaters eat human babies or human beings?
00:36It does not occur to them, right?
00:37I am asking them to introspect.
00:39Why don't you eat human beings?
00:42You don't eat human beings because human beings are conscious.
00:46Because human beings are hungry of liberation.
00:50And consciousness is your only hope and consciousness is your only saviour.
00:53Therefore you do not want to disrespect consciousness by killing a conscious being.
