Maneka Sanjay Gandhi
What is Maya? Narada Muni wanted the answer so he meditated for decades until Vishnu appeared. "Come", the god said, "let us walk and I will tell you what Maya is". They walked on the hot sands of the desert and soon they were tired, dusty and thirsty. Then Vishnu pointed at a small hamlet and said, "Narada, please get me some water". Narada knocked on the first door and a girl of beauty and grace opened it. "Come in, my lord", she said. He entered to a welcoming family who gave him food and water and he stayed for months until he asked for the girl’s hand. He married her and had three children. 12 years passed and suddenly there was a flash flood that destroyed the village. Narada took his three children and wife and tried to get out of the high swirling waters. But they were swept away and he found himself alone. He sat in the ruins of his life and cried bitterly. And then he heard the distant voice of Vishnu calling, "Narada, I’ve been waiting half an hour ! Where is my water ?" And then Narada realised that everything was a dream.

When Indian elephants meet African elephants, they recognise that they are both elephants. So do Indian tigers meeting Siberian ones. But I have great difficulty recognising that I am of the same species as a person who attends a Wildfoods festival in New Zealand to drink shots of bull and horse semen taken fresh from animals that have had humans masturbate these animals.

I cannot make up my mind: is the meateater, who eats dead animals killed in slaughterhouses, worse than the meateater who kills the animal himself while eating it?
There is a certain type of person who goes to a restaurant, chooses a live fish, octopus shrimp or snake in a transparent aquarium tank, has it taken out of the glass and killed and cooked in front of him. His only reason for this to himself is that the meat should be “fresh”. In actual fact some people truly enjoy suffering. That, for them, is as important as the taste.
