’One who obstructs a hungry man from having his food or thirsty person from quenching his thirst commits a sin similar to that of killing a brahmin/cow.’
Following the religion of other’s after abandoning his/her own,
tormenting virtuous people,
not respecting one’s parents,
studying the scriptures in an impure physical state,
seeing faults with others and demeaning their efforts,
acquiring other’s land by unfair means,
having illicit relationship with women/men other than one’s wife/husband,
showing disrespect to the guests,
killing innocent animals,
killing plants, however It’s severity is less because most of the time CEREALS, PULSES, OIL SEEDS and FRUITS etc. are collected and used only when they are withered from the plants i.e. when their life cycle is completed. If they are collected before the right time then, no oil from oil seeds can be produced and FRUITS taste will not be good
eating non veg, not considered as sin if there is no food available and it’s necessary for survival, however like plants, animals which have completed their life cycle should be preferred
