cruelty is far from God.
Killing is not a true deed.

Killing in the name of religion in the name of God is the opposite of God.

Compassion for all living creatures brings love into our heart.  And Baba ji said that "only in a loving heart Truth(Sat Naam) can come and reside".

The very God the killer is trying to please, is in the living heart of every creature, He is the Life-force.

They are destroying the true temple of God by taking life, in the illusion that the ink and paper scriptures are the living God.

At the very core of the action in the video, the person doing the deed and the goat are just playing out their karma.  The belief system to make the killer do the deed is just a man-made story.  KARMA OVERRULES EVERYTHING.  We all reap what we sow.

 

Killing is not a good deed for us to do.

But eating meat is not bad.  Because once the animal is dead as per its karma with its killer, then food is just food.   Rituals are fake and relgious beliefs like this are just the blind leading the blind.
