Transcript

00:00We believe that the human mother and the cow are separate beings. They are not because attachment

00:06is very much an animalistic quality. What happens is we treat the mother's relationship with the

00:12kid as love. Don't we say that? The mother's love for the child. The moment you say mother's love

00:16for the child, you have artificially raised that animalistic relationship to a conscious level

00:23because attachment is animalistic, love is conscious. The fact is that even the human

00:28mother is just attached to the child. Why? Because even the human mother is an animal

00:32and similarly the cow or the buffalo or the goat is attached to her child. Now when you admit that

00:39human beings too are just animals, man and animal are normally one. They become different only when

00:45man walks on the spiritual path and raises his consciousness. Otherwise man and animal are just one.
