Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hello Everyone; namaste:

We are continuing with Chapter 14, paragraph 2 in the Letter to the Omans from the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."

"Let's take the food and diet issues for an example: One person may be convinced that he can eat anything he wants to, while another person with a different background might assume that all of us should be vegetarians. And then another person thinks we should only eat raw food. But since we are all guests at God's table, wouldn't it be terribly rude if we all started criticizing each other for our choice of food. We don't have any business crossing people off the guest list at God's table. If there are lessons to be learned about food and diet, then people will come to them according to their own inner knowing from God. If someone asks for advice about what to eat, that is a different matter."

Commentary: The unspoken issue here is the rights of animals. Mankind has been eating animals for a long time and it seems normal and acceptable to most people. However, the meat producing corporations have been developing factory farms that treat animals in a cruel way, which in turn has lowered the quality of meat. Many people are still attached to eating meat and will not give it up even if animals are treated cruelly. That is their free choice and the consequences will come, so there is no need to judge them. However, there is freedom to talk about the benefits of a vegetarian or a vegan diet. In considering the oneness of all life, it is good to consider what we eat. How we treat animals will come back to us. It's a discussion worth having, just try to listen to what people are saying.
