You should be peaceful. You should be sober. You should think what is the value of life. And you be satisfied with nature’s gift. Nature will give you so many things. Krsna has given you food grains, fruits, milk. You don’t require to eat meat and open slaughterhouses. Be satisfied with, as Krsna is satisfied: patram puspam phalam toyam yo me bhaktya prayacchati [Bg. 9.26].
