Now-a-days it is the system of the modern world that they have no concern with the time of eating and what to eat and what not to eat. Eating, drinking after sunset has become so common that one will wonder whether eating after sunset is a sin ?
The answer is firmly affirmative and powerfully positive. Killing of lives in eating after sunset solidly and undoubtedly is established by both Jain as well as non-jain philosophy and scientific experiments and researches too.
Keval Gyanis (Omniscient) have gone to the extent of saying that not only eating and drinking after sunset is sinful but also eating in darkroom during the day time and eating in narrow mouthful vessels is sinful.
Jain philosophy acclaimed that those who eat after sunset are called animals without horns and tails. They have warned that food is spoiled by devils and evil spirits and small insects after sunset, so it is prohibited.
One may question what will happen if one eats after sunset ? If one eats after sunset he is likely to eat ants which causes cessation of intelligence and mental power. If a louse is eaten, it will cause dropsy. If a fly is eaten, it will cause vomitting and if a spider is eaten it causes leprosy. Yog Shashtra of Kalikal Sarvagna Hemchandracharya
In the same scripture it is said that in case thorns or wooden particles are eaten it may cause chocking and unbearable throat pain. Scorpion may cause poisonous bites at the pallate. Horirs may cause hoarseness of throat. In this manner innumerable prima facie diseases may be caused apart from the sin in eating after sunset.
It is conjuctured that those who eat after sunset are likely to be reborn as owl, crow, cat, vulture, antelop, pig,
Tolerance is the only real test of civilisation.
The greatest requirement for children is : Mother's love and father's affection. Both are
missing in today's world.
