Questioner: All kinds.
Dadashri: So what will you do from now on?
Dadashri: Would you ever kill a human infant?
Questioner: I will not kill any more insects.
Questioner: No.
Dadashri: Do you think that insects have a fear of dying? Do they run away when you try to kill them?
Dadashri: No, you cannot kill anyone's child.
Questioner: No.
Questioner: Yes.
Dadashri: Why is that? Since you killed those insects, will you now make an insect for me? I will give a reward of a hundred thousand dollars if you or anyone else can make an insect for me. Will you make one? It is not possible right?
D adashri: Then how can you kill them? All these wheat and barley crops do not become frightened when you harvest them. They do not run away. Does the eggplant run away when you cut it with a knife?
Questioner: No.
Questioner: No.
Dadashri: So then how can you kill them? Can even a scientist create an insect?
Dadashri: Then you can cook it and eat it. Are you afraid of dying?
Questioner: No.
Questioner: Yes.
Dadashri: So in the same way, the insects too have the same fear. (P.423)
Dadashri: So then you cannot kill anything that you cannot create yourself. You can make this chair; you can make all such things, and those things you can destroy. Do you understand?
Dadashri: Are you married?
Questioner: Yes.
Questioner: No.
