Acharya Prashant asserts that the term 'non-vegetarian food' is a deceptive euphemism used to hide the cruelty of eating animal flesh. He argues that if people were honest, they would admit to eating the bodies of living beings, but they use civilized language to mask their barbarism. He suggests that one can only consume meat if they have never experienced love for another living creature. Even a small amount of affection or attachment, as often seen in women who statistically consume less meat than men, would make it impossible to kill and eat an animal. He encourages befriending an animal, like a rooster or a goat, noting that such a connection would make eating any animal impossible. True humanity, according to him, lies in recognizing that the pain felt by animals is identical to the pain felt by humans. Regarding dietary choices like avoiding onion or garlic, Acharya Prashant explains that every plant-based food has specific properties and effects on the body. One should study these effects and choose food based on their personal condition and the seasons. He defines veganism not as a list of restrictions, but as a positive affirmation of love and a refusal to exploit others. He compares the exploitation of animals to the unthinkable act of cutting a daughter's hair to make a hat, emphasizing that love makes such exploitation impossible. He concludes by citing Kabir Saheb, warning that the company of meat-eaters is detrimental to spiritual progress. He insists that a truly spiritual person must feel the pain of others, as those who are indifferent to the suffering of animals are devoid of true guidance and compassion.
