Man consumes as food many living beings, plants, eggs, fish, cattle, sheep, etc. These are born as human beings, on account of this act of consumption. But since they have not had the education; which can reveal the God within, they vegetate or stay brutish, without appropriate ticket or passport for rising higher than the human status in which they have been hurriedly placed. Like most men, they roll along from womb to tomb, bond slaves to the senses and the ills that the bondage brings inevitably in its train. Do not be content with slavery; yearn to reach the sun of Splendor, the Source of Perfect Wisdom.
(Baba, The Breath Of Sai, pg 243)
