According to Charaka Samhita,
“यथा अन्नं तथा मनः”
(Yatha Annam Tatha Manah)
It means, as is the food, so is the mind.
This rule applies not only to humans but also to animals. If a cow is fed natural food like grass, fodder, grains, then its milk is considered sattvik and pure. But when a cow is fed fodder made of bones or meat, then its Sattvikta is destroyed.
From the point of view of Hinduism, milk can be called holy only when it is violence-free, pure and based on sattvik food. But Veganism goes one step further and says that - it is not appropriate to use the milk of any animal and its byproducts because this is also a form of animal exploitation.
Therefore, the question arises before us:
👉 Should we still stick to the old mindset or adopt a lifestyle in which there is kindness and compassion towards every living being?
🌱 The path of Ahimsa (non-violence) teaches us that true Sattvikta is only when our plate is also filled with compassion.
