From the very beginning of creation, God asks us not to kill anyone, human or animal, but He also earnestly asks us to care for and watch over all land and water animals without exception, and likewise, not to destroy any plant in any form, including trees, for they shelter many living beings, and to protect them all.

Let us not kill, let us not make animals suffer, and let us not eat their flesh, for they have a soul. Humans are still unaware that divine laws prevail over human laws, and that they suffer the consequences of their sinful acts, according to the law of karma, the law of action and reaction, the law of cause and effect.

It is written in the Vedas, the original sacred scriptures: All the animals we have killed and made suffer needlessly will kill us one after another in our next life, and throughout all our other lives.

Those who kill animals, cause them unnecessary suffering, and eat their flesh, as is the practice in slaughterhouses and industrial fisheries, will be killed in a similar way in their next life and in many future lives. There is no forgiveness for such an offense.

Those who professionally kill thousands of land and water animals, such as slaughterhouse workers, fishermen, and all those who kill fish and cause them to suffocate so that people can buy and eat their flesh, must expect to be killed in a similar way in their next life and in many future lives.

Many unscrupulous individuals even go so far as to violate their own religious principles. The Judeo-Christian Holy Scriptures clearly state the following commandment: “Thou shalt not kill.”

Despite this, offering all sorts of excuses, even the leaders of these religions kill animals while pretending to be holy men. This mockery and hypocrisy of humanity are the cause of the calamities that afflict the masses, such as the periodic outbreak of wars and the forces of nature's natural disasters.

Killing land and water animals will not only deprive us of human form in our next life, but will also force us to assume an animal body and be killed by the same kind of animal we have killed. Such are the laws of nature.

I once witnessed a pigeon being killed by a crow. A second crow watched the scene silently, seemingly ready to intervene if necessary. I was both shocked and surprised by what I saw, for here sparrows, pigeons, and crows mingle, often eat together, and brush past one another without any problem.

It was then, under divine inspiration, that I understood that the pigeon's soul was currently suffering the consequences of its sinful acts committed in its previous life, where, incarnated in a human body, it had killed crows. It was thus facing the punishment of karmic justice.
