A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupadaYou should not be carried away by the dictation of the mind, but the mind should be carried by your dictation.
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupadaLiving entity is food for another living entity, it does not mean that I shall eat my children also. There is discretion.
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupadaOne should not be happy or distressed over desirables and undesirables, knowing that such feelings are just created by the mind.
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupadaOne who loves Krishna will give Him whatever He wants, and he avoids offering anything which is undesirable or unasked for. Thus, meat, fish and eggs should not be offered to Krishna...Vegetables, grains, fruits, milk and water are the proper foods for human beings and are prescribed by Lord Krishna Himself. Whatever else you eat, can not be offered to Him, since He will not accept it.
