God Who Created the Universe Provided Herbs as Food
God created the universe within six days. He made us and provided food for everyone.
Genesis 1:29 (KJV) – And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
God has given seed-bearing plants, trees and fruit yielding seeds to us, which shall be our food.
Genesis 1:30 (KJV) – And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
God provided green herbs for everything that creeps on the earth.
Isaiah 11:6-9 proves It right. The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. (Isaiah 11:6, KJV)
And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. (Isaiah- 11:7, KJV)
Hence it is proved that God has provided green plants for every living being.
According to Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, the Bible prohibits meat consumption. He teaches that God never commanded humans to eat meat, but rather prescribed a vegetarian diet as the rightful food. Here’s how he interprets the Bible on this issue:
Key Bible Verse (as per his interpretation):
Genesis 1:29 —
“And God said, ‘Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food.'”
Sant Rampal Ji points to this verse to emphasize that God provided plants and fruits for humans to eat, not meat.
Meat Eating is a Sin:
According to Sant Rampal Ji:
Eating meat is a grave sin and should be avoided.
He says: “Stop eating meat. Stop killing animals in the name of God. God has given us a better diet.”
He emphasizes compassion for all living beings:
“All living beings are children of God. That God can never be pleased if someone harms or kills another creature for their own desire or taste.”
the teachings of Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj regarding the harms of eating meat:
1. Spiritual Harm:
- Loss of virtue: Eating meat is considered a sin because it involves killing living beings, which goes against the scriptures.
- Obstruction in devotion: A person who eats meat cannot attain successful spiritual practice. According to Kabir Sahib: “Why search the forest in vain,
The saint resides within your home,
Real worship is achieved without killing life.” - No salvation: As per Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, meat-eaters live a sinful life and never attain true knowledge or liberation.
2. Physical Harm:
- Increased diseases: Eating meat increases the risk of heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, and cholesterol.
- Toxic substances: Meat contains harmful bacteria and toxins that damage the stomach and liver.
- Hormonal issues: Animals raised for meat often receive hormones and chemicals that disturb the human hormonal balance.
3. Social Harm:
- Promotes violence: Meat consumption reduces compassion and kindness, leading to increased violence in society.
- Environmental damage: Meat production leads to deforestation, high water usage, and greenhouse gas emissions.
- Economic loss: Resources spent on meat production could instead be used to grow plant-based food and feed more people efficiently.
Scriptural Support:
- The Vedas, Bhagavad Gita, and Kabir Sahib’s teachings all promote non-violence and vegetarianism.
- Bhagavad Gita Chapter 17, Verses 7–10 describe how food in the mode of passion and ignorance (like meat) is detrimental to spiritual practice.
