Satchidananda Saraswati quotes

Meat-eating is undesirable if the person is interested in physical and mental well-being, in securing tranquility for the body and mind. ... The greatest religious teachers have always recommended a vegetarian diet because it is a diet that stills the mind as well as strengthening the body. They are unanimous in saying that a peaceful mind, a serene mind, is necessary to recognize the God within you. "Blessed are the pure in hearth; they shall see God," the Bible says. And yoga strives to calm and pacify the mind so that the person can recognize the God within. (Satchidananda Saraswati)
