Not Satvik food, but abusing others, made him happy.
He judges others.
Should we judge him?

So until yesterday, Buddhism and Jainism and Sikhism were branches of Hinduism.
People quoted Bhagavata Purana as 'proof'.
Now they are separate trees.
These 'pure' vegetarians tell so many lies.
Shocking and heartbreaking.
