If a non vegetarian do a lot of charity and other good work, will he able to attain the birth of a devatās.

Or the birth of a devatās can only be achieved by a vegetarian who do the good karma as well.

  • 1). One of the Kshatriya kills the unjust out of his dharmic duty, while 2). another one kills the people, just out of his desires or pleasure or iffy. What do you think might happen in each case? Who'll get Swarga and who might be suffering? – Vivikta Mar 24 '21 at 01:59
  • @Vivikta it is not about humans it is about animals. – Dark Knight Mar 24 '21 at 03:12
  • my argument point being, One tends to eat non-vegetarian food (which is an obvious, explicit form of hinsa - violence), out of material desires and avarice of the tongue, वृत्ति - vritti. Which is definitely not in accordance with the conduct required to be inducted for the post of a devtaa, I guess. – Vivikta Mar 24 '21 at 03:21
  • @Vivikta, well yes but there are many verses that says you eat meat (it allowes meat) – Dark Knight Mar 24 '21 at 03:23
  • @Vivikta not just that meant that we eat today can be ahinsa as well. We don't cut meat by our own hands. We just buy them. – Dark Knight Mar 24 '21 at 03:24
  • the texts prescribes not commands*, ONE MAY eat as per circumstances**. It's not authoritative maybe. – Vivikta Mar 24 '21 at 03:27

    In any case, a sin is equally shared, the one to murders, the one who knows, the one who eats, the one who cooks, anyone related to the hinsa committed is told to be a sinner. And by that "just eating and not killing logic ", the murder by a knife or gun is technically not committed by the person but the object. :p. – Vivikta Mar 24 '21 at 03:30

    Also, read this QnA, it'll clear your doubt regarding the same. And maybe make this question of yours a possible duplicate of this same QnA. – Vivikta Mar 24 '21 at 05:15
