Swami Dayanand

A bold and perfect reply by Rishi explaining true motive of word religion

Reasoning by a flesh eater- These arguments (against flesh eating) apply only to things of a secular nature. But our religion (Islam) prescribes to us the duty of eating flesh.

Vegetarian- We ask if religious and irreligious be not synonymous with right and wrong in human conduct, you would never be able to prove that things may be religiously right or wrong as distinct from such inhuman conduct. Actions that conduce to general happiness are termed right, and those that conduce not to general happiness are termed wrong. If theft and robbery are crimes, they are such because they are painful to others. Leaving out this consideration, there is parity of actions between the robber and the robbed?

Hinduism is based on principles like "Loka Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu" that is, the whole world should be in a joyful state. How can a man enjoy by giving pain to another being?

Hinduism sees the whole world of all creatures together, their worries sorrows, enjoyment and peace altogether.
It is not true that human beings should act only for the enjoyment of human beings. All creatures in this universe are equel in the eyes of the superpower who created us all.
