The reasons are always there.( Fisherman has reason to kill fish)

Once, a Yogi was on the way to his meditating cave, and he passed via a river. He was a bit busy and had to reach his destination faster. To his amazement, he found a fisherman fishing the fish while crossing a bridge. In the action of a fisherman, he chased an insect, coming towards his eyes by waving his hand up and down. It was a frequent action that Yogi noticed as he watched the fisherman from the bridge. Yogi thought Fisherman was calling him to come down when Fisherman waved his hand to chase the insects. Yogi said to himself, "Why is he calling me when I am so busy?" Then he decided to go near a fisherman.

As soon as the Yogi got close to the Fisherman, he asked, "Why did you call me?" To his surprise and irritation, the fisherman answered, "I didn’t call you." After a fisherman's explanation, Yogi got the message that he wasn’t called and it was his mistake.

Before he leaves the spot with blush, he got a question to ask the fisherman. "Why are you fishing and killing fish? They have not harmed you. They also have a life similar to ours. " "You will never know how much fish have harmed us," the fisherman replied. They don’t even think of human beings drinking this water (river), and they pass urine and shit in the water itself. So the water becomes dirty. I always get a cough and a cold because of dirty water. So I am fishing. "

Yogi had no reply to his answer and went off.

Now to the reader, what would you give a fisherman's reply if you were a Yogi at that time?

N.B: This is a story I heard from one of my teachers in middle school.
