I DO NOT INTERFERE

Kitty Davy

 
At this time [April, 1952] we were vegetarians, eating an egg occasionally. Rice and dal had been our staple foods in India, along with fresh green vegetables. Baba now allowed fish every other day. As Baba once said on this subject:

"I allow vegetarians to follow their diet and nonvegetarians to eat meat, fish, etc. I do not interfere with any religion and permit all to follow their own creeds unhindered. When faced with love for God, these external ceremonies have no value. Love for God automatically and naturally results in self-denial, mental control and ego annihilation, irrespective of the love following or renouncing these external adoptions."
