Mode of Ignorance Mode of Passion Vegetarian Food

Digest 00001B: Vegetarianism

Written by Romapada Swami

Question: If someone says even Hitler was vegetarian but he created so much havoc. How can one support the argument that vegetarian food results in pleasant thoughts?

Answer by Romapada Swami: You have asked a question about Hitler’s vegetarianism, yet obviously he did not ‘have pleasant thoughts’. Certainly one can do one thing that induces the quality of goodness, and fifty other things that induce ignorance and passion. What will prevail, or which mode is likely to predominate? Fifty to one, ignorance and passion will prevail. Vegetarianism is not everything in determining disposition, in other words.
