Q: Cultivation and purification are long-term, gradual processes. Sometimes, even when we change, we might not immediately notice it. Is there any way to tell if our consciousness has truly elevated?
A: Certain low-frequency vibrations within us resonate with similar external frequencies. You can use this principle to assess your own growth. For example, if you suddenly lose interest in crude or low-level things—or even feel repulsed by them—it indicates that a part of your inner self has ascended to a higher plane.
Q: I used to love eating meat and couldn't enjoy a meal without it. But now, for some reason, I've lost interest in meat. The mere thought of those poor animals being placed on the dining table makes me feel nauseous. Does this mean my consciousness has grown?
A: This is a natural state of mind that develops when a person's spiritual evolution reaches a certain level.
Q: Some people force their family members to stop eating meat and frequently criticize others. How should we view this behavior?
A: Suggesting is fine, but forcing oneself or others to stop eating meat is unnecessary. This is a natural process—forcing it will not bring the desired results and may instead lead to conflicts and problems. There is a difference between true virtue and false virtue. As the saying goes:
"The highest virtue does not hold itself as virtue, thus it truly possesses virtue. The lowest virtue never loses sight of virtue, thus it lacks true virtue."
When people try to impose their choices on others, they should ask themselves whether they are genuinely seeking virtue or merely pursuing a sense of self-righteous satisfaction.
A person who truly seeks virtue would never resort to coercion or extremism. Therefore, we must look at the essence of things. Those who believe themselves to be superior just because they are vegetarian may, in fact, have lost their virtue. Meanwhile, those who still eat meat but are consciously working to elevate their awareness—gradually and naturally reducing their meat consumption—actually possess a nobler character.
