Life exists as one organic unity.
Man can exist only as part of this orchestra,
just think of man without birds and without animals and without fish,
that life will be very very boring;
it will lose all complexity, variety, richness, color.
The forests will be utterly empty,
the cuckoo will not call, and the birds will not fly,
and the water will look very sad without the fish.
Life in its infinite forms exists as one organic unity.
We are part of it: the part should feel reverence for the whole.
That is the idea of vegetarianism.
It simply means: don't destroy life.
It simply means: life is God, avoid destroying it,
otherwise you will be destroying the very ecology.
OSHO
