In bhakti yoga practice there is meditation before eating. Part of the meditation is ... "And of all the senses, the tongue is the most voracious and difficult to control." It is recommended to avoid meat, fish and eggs and only eat foods from vegetable kingdom. The mind becomes more peaceful since there is less violence.
But plants also are living beings. So the meditation is to offer foods from the vegetable kingdom as a sacrifice to the Supreme Being to be relieved of reactions for taking a life. Yes. Pulling a carrot out of the ground is taking a life. Everyone here is eating everyone else. It really is a nasty place. Except for the plants. They are subsisting by manufacturing from basic elements, sun, water, earth...
When the tongue is controlled in this way , by eating remnants of sacrifice the urge of sex desire is also controlled.
Very few people are practicing bhakti yoga. Out of many thousands one may be trying to come to higher standard and achieve a peaceful state. It's called the mode of goodness. From that mode it is easier to understand transcendental subject matter.
