Is it sin to kill mosquitos?

[Devotees asked some questions during some recent Satsangas and Swami replied to them, which are given below.]

[A question by Shri D. Nagendra]

Swami Replied:- It is not a sin because mosquitos are not only harming you but also harming the entire society, which contains very good people. God used to kill the demons since they are harmful to the society. Due to the mosquito, illness is coming, which is harming the spiritual path also since an illness-victim cannot do spiritual effort. Once, a devotee went to see Paramahamsa and He was killing bed-bugs. He told the devotee that when He is meditating upon God, those bugs were disturbing Him. He told “I will kill anybody and destroy anything that comes between Me and God”. Sin is only when you are harming living beings who are non-harming and are also helping other living beings. The goat is giving milk to help you and you are killing it just to eat when alternatively, vegetarian food is available in plenty. That is only sin.
