Drink Quote by Lakshmi Holmstrom
““Those who seek true knowledge do not drink because it confuses the mind, and they do not eat meat because to do so is to take life. Listen, friend. Those who are born in this world must die, and those who die must be reborn. Truly, it is like sleeping and waking. We have to avoid wrong-doing such as killing and drinking because we must all reap the results of our deeds.””
