00:00 Usually, people think that spirituality and naturalism go together.

00:09 They think if you are a spiritual man, then you would love fruits and all kinds of animal

00:17 products and these two often are seen together.

00:24 The moment a person picks up some spiritual text, he also starts eating more raw food.

00:35 It is often a combination.

00:42 It is seen that spiritual people go to the jungles.

00:49 So somehow a correlation has been established in the mind that spirituality and prakriti

00:55 go together.

00:56 No, wrong.

00:59 Spirituality is transcendence of prakriti and when you transcend prakriti, then you

01:04 can really love prakriti.

01:07 It is a thing that you have to appreciate.

01:11 Those who do not transcend prakriti remain attached with prakriti and if you remain attached

01:16 with prakriti, you will consume prakriti.

01:18 For example, if you remain attached to your own body, then you will kill somebody's body

01:24 to feed your own body.

01:26 If you are attached to prakriti, you will rape prakriti.

01:31 But the saint goes beyond prakriti, from there he can just lovingly witness and watch prakriti.

01:39 Then he doesn't interfere with prakriti or consume it or rape it.

01:45 Are you getting it?

01:49 In fact a lot of damage to prakriti is being brought about by prakriti lovers as well.

01:57 So they would say, you know we require a particular type of fruit.

02:04 Now for that type of fruit to be grown, all other species of trees are being cut off.

02:17 If you are standing at the intellect, Elmari, as you are, use the intellect, find out where

02:26 in the world, from where in the world can you get all nutrients that are not animal

02:46 sourced.

02:51 Artificial meat industries come up.

02:56 If it is required that artificial meat be made in order to satisfy people who necessarily

03:05 want to have meat, I am all in favor of more technological research to produce more artificial

03:15 meat that closely resembles animal meat.

03:20 This is compassion because this is going to save billions of animals every day.

03:27 Let technological prowess be used to produce artificial meat because the fellow is now

03:34 addicted to meat.

03:36 He will eat meat and if you will not give him artificial meat, he will slaughter the

03:39 animal.

03:44 So use intellect, use research, use technology.

03:50 What is all your scientific knowledge for?

03:52 You can't even produce a protein molecule in the factory and then we sing so much about

04:01 man's scientific advancements.

04:10 Man cannot go back to the jungle.

04:15 So even if you want to protect the jungle now, intellect is the answer.

04:25 Man can neither go back to the jungle nor can man give up the intellect.

04:32 But the jungle has to be protected.

04:35 The intellect is the answer.

04:37 Use the mind.

04:39 Use the mind in service to the truth.

04:47 If intellect is what you have, devote the intellect to the service of the truth, to

04:56 the service of compassion.

04:57 Thank you.
