Tatra ko mohah kah shokah ekatvamanupasyatah
Yajurveda 40.7 "Those who see all beings as souls do not feel infatuation or anguish at their sight, for they experience oneness with them".
How could people who believed in the doctrines of indestructibility, transmigration dare to kill living animals in yajnas? They might be seeing the souls of their own near and dear ones of bygone days residing in those living beings.
