Nisargadatta Maharaj
Speaking on His Habits in  I Am That


Starting on page 193 of pdf file:


Q:   You smoke? 

M:   My body kept a few habits which may as well continue till it dies. There is no harm in them. 

Q:   You eat meat?

M:   I was born among meat-eating people and my children are eating meat. I eat very little -- and make no fuss.

Q:   Meat-eating implies killing.

M:   Obviously. I make no claims of consistency. You think absolute consistency is possible; prove it by example.
       Don't preach what you do not practise.
