There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.

Vegetarianism is one of the priceless gifts of Hinduism.

Vegetarians should have that moral basis—that a man was not born a carnivorous animal, but born to live on the fruits and herbs that the earth grows.

I do feel that spiritual progress does demand at some stage—an inexorable demand—that we should cease to kill our fellow-creatures for satisfaction of our bodily wants.
