Therefore you must not interfere with the violence in eating single-sensory life forms. To do so is involvement of the ego. The single-sensory life forms do not run away from you in fear, so you should not have any qualms about whether or not to eat them. This is the way of life. One cannot survive without eating and drinking.

The entire world is composed of life forms. Actually, the whole world is a collection of life forms. The basis of life is at least single-sensory. You cannot eat anything that does not contain life; moreover there is nothing in this world that is void of life. You can only eat food that contains life because that is the only way you can nourish and sustain your body. Everything we eat is at least one-sensory life form if not more. The Lord does not forbid the consumption of single-sensory organisms because they do not contain blood, pus or meat. If you start worrying about the single-sensory life forms, there will be no end to it. In fact you are not to worry about them at all. People on the other hand have become overly concerned with things that have little significance and have altogether dismissed things of greater importance. You should not worry about the violence that occurs at the minuscule level.

# Which Is The Best Food?

**Questioner:** Why are some foods forbidden in the kramik (traditional step by step path towards liberation) path?

**Dadashri:** There are different categories of food. The worst and the most deleterious kind is the human flesh. Next comes the meat of animals. In this category however, it is better to consume the flesh of the species whose population increases rapidly, such as chickens, fish or ducks, as opposed to eating the meat of cattle and such animals whose population does not increase at a rapid rate. Eating eggs is better than eating meat. But those who want to further their spiritual progress should consume only edible roots e.g. carrots and potatoes. And those who want to progress even further, I say that they should avoid even these and consume only foods such as breads, whole-grain, sweetmeats and ghee. And beyond this, further
