Arup ji,stones are also alive .It is not my imagination,it is a reality.
U know ,it is said that India gave "Zero" to the world.That was a spiritual discovery.
"Shunya".
Today Stephen Hawkins says that shunya gave birth to existence .
Upnaidshad already declared that.
All existence comes from Shunya,either the whole cosmos is alive or the whole is dead.
So we should not be nationals or internationals but Cosmics.
So hurt as least as possible.So no question of killing animals when we can kill and eat potatoes ,who are alive but less alive than animals.
That is my life philosophy also.
