Let me start by answering the question that was asked about the difference between the food and vegetable especially in terms of animal ethics, namely as regards the respect due to living beings. From a religious point of view, ethical, but also sociological, economic and medical health, there are many reasons the desirability della dieta vegetariana. La persona non si nutre soltanto del cibo in quanto tale, ma anche di tutte quelle impressioni psichiche che sono contenute in esso e che agiscono a livello sottile sulla sua costituzione psicofisica.
Pensate a quanto possa essere carico di energie negative un cibo prodotto esercitando violenza: tutte quelle sensazioni di paura, terrore, sgomento, provate dall’essere vivente al momento dell’uccisione, permangono in quel corpo brutalmente massacrato come indelebili tracce a livello psichico e anche fisico, essendo i due piani inscindibilmente collegati, e vengono di conseguenza assimilate, anche se in maniera non consapevole, da chi sceglie quel cibo come nutrimento. Per questi ed altri motivi, l'Ayurveda, la scienza della vita, la scienza medica tradizionale indovedica, afferma che l'alimentazione di tipo vegetariano è incomparabilmente più capace di favorire l’equilibrio psico-fisico, la longevità, conservare la giovinezza e il vigore, di quella basata sui cibi carnei. Considero un dovere ed un piacere essere qui tra voi per parlare del tema “uomo-animali”. Il nostro rapporto con gli animali e con la vita in generale dovrebbe interessarci tutti da vicino, pena una perdita progressiva di sensibilità e di capacità di sopravvivere, vivere e convivere. Desidero perciò ringraziare sinceramente e profondamente gli organizzatori di questo convegno, soprattutto per la dimostrata ability to give voice to so many different representatives belonging to the sphere of religious thought.
Humans by nature are social beings, people who can live in complete solitude can belong to only two categories that are exactly the opposite: the group of psychopaths and that of hermits. All the great middle range of humanity has somehow need to live in contact with others, and these others are not and can not be, as experience teaches, only human. I read about a reflection made by a deeply religious person, meaning the adjective to refer to a level of awareness and not necessarily to charge the Church. I speak here in the name of an ancient tradition, the Vedic, but I chose to read a passage, in my opinion particularly significant, which belongs to another culture and in any case confirms the view of the Vedas:
"The noise only seems to insult the ears when it is devoid of life. And what is life if a man can not hear the lonely cry of a bird, or the converse of the frogs around a pond at night? What is the 'man without the beasts? If all the animals they left, he would die from great loneliness of spirit. What happens to the animals, soon happens even man, in all, there is a link ".
net are obvious similarities here with Vedic conceptions, as we shall see later, and with the thought of some pre-Socratic philosophers, such as those cited by my colleagues that I preceded it. This piece, which belongs to the tradition of American Indians, ending with the following statement:
"Whatever befalls the earth will happen to the children of the earth. If men spit on the ground as if to spit upon themselves. This we know: it is the land that belongs to man, but man belongs to earth. The man did not weave the web of life, is simply one of its wires and everything he does to the web he does to himself. "
This observation, made by a Native American Indian chief, is a response to the emissaries of the President of the United States who wanted to buy the land of the natives. It reflects an awareness of the profound relationship that binds man to the animals and the environment in which they live. If we talk about animals, we can not even talk about the environment, only way, in fact, we can well understand the position and contextualize it is for the various living beings in the great mosaic of life.
