It is common sense that all beings have a right to live that’s why they were born and that’s why they were created by God.
We as humans do not have the right to determine what species of life has a right to live and what species must die. Those that think they have a right to decide who lives and who dies are demoniac by character and actions.
Such degraded people act on the material platform of false ego. The false ego character of an individual exhibits greed, lust, pride and envy as described by Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita.
Such a person, live a life centre around themselves only, without any consideration for others, except their own extended selfish interests namely close family members and possibly a friend or two, if they even have one true friend.
These narcissistic characteristics are based on the self centred selfish I, Me and Mine lifestyle of the sense gratifying material man or woman.
Krishna explains further in the Bhagavad Gita that such a person sees the world as their property and not God’s properly, that everything is meant for their sense gratification.
Such demoniac mentality leads to a hellish birth after the death of this body that is their stupidity. What stupid thinks and does, stupid gets.
Yes of course this is a tragedy, since the human form of life is the only form on this planet, capable of self-realization and God realization.
What do you mean by the term self-realization you may ask? Self-realization in the beginning means to identify oneself as the spirit soul and not the arterial body which is made of fallible materials like bone skin blood etc. along with their byproducts bile, mucus, stool and urine. Those that identify themselves as the body are certainly fools of the first order and at the time of death will be shocked to see their destiny due to their selfish sinful life.
For example, animals have a right to live put but people think they can kill them with no regard for their life, giving them no respect and no compassion. God has created them for his own reasons and we have no right to kill them.
In many cases they are very kind and productive members of the human society we live in especially the cow.
One of the causes of the current pandemic is the result of the sinful life of the people especially for the mistreatment of the animal’s people eat every day, who are murdered daily in the slaughter houses, under the authorization of the modern-day governments.
Such bad karma is inexcusable by Krishna.
Krishna states in the Gita he appears in this world in order to deliver the Pious people and annihilate the demoniac. Recently he appeared in India as Lord she Tanya to deliver the us through the chanting the holy names of God Hari Krishna.
The chanting of Hare Krishna is also known as the great chant for deliverance and those that take advantage of it will be purified of all sinful activity.
Those people that don’t regard life belonging to God and disregard these instructions are doomed by their negative karmic activity to a lower birth at the time of death.
The demoniac is doomed by their own selfish self-centred ego centred lifestyles of eat drink and be merry at any cost to other living beings created by God for his pleasure not theirs. The court house of karma and its rulings control the destiny of all sinful human beings who choose who has the right to live and the right to die.
Hare Krishna.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
