Through 8.4 million incarnations, you came. If you stumble and fall now, you shall find no home or place of rest. (panna 936) For Sikhs, the human form is the only opportunity to unite with God. According to scriptures, liberation is possible only in the human life. Of all the beasts, God has manifested the power of a voice, only to man. Out of all the 8.4 million species He created, The Lord has blessed man with glory. (pg 1075) Yet, if you refuse to use this valuable voice to praise God, then surely God will grant you the life of a beast who will continuously regret his mistake; not forgetting God, even for a second. The 8.4 million species of beings all yearn for the Lord. (panna 29)
By eating meat,you are killing a soul who is in the process of evolving towards God. Guru Ji has said, Thou killest life and deemest that as a religious act; Thou, tell me then, O my brother, what calls thou an irreligious act Sikhism states that he who can give life, has the right to take away a life. The person who cannot give a life – has no right to kill an animal. It is only God who has the power to grant and end a life as He pleases.
