AMAR VANI
cakes are used for cooking our food. When the cow-dung is burnt, its ashes are used for cleaning our utencils. But the secretion of man is all filth and nothing else. This is the great difference between man and the cow. Further, our human mother feeds us on her breast for a few days only, and for this she gets the right of receiving our services for the whole of her life. The cow gives us milk throughout our life. Then consider how much service the cow is entitled to receive from us. Mankind will have to consider it sooner or later.
