Eating eggs the rationale.

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

 

Many systems allow the eating of eggs provided they are unfertilised

and are free run or free range..........Paramahamsa Yogananada did

allow it.

 

This is based on the idea that eggs are not yet an animal in the most

popular sense. If they are unfertilised then they are not even at a

plant stage. So no creature is being harmed. It doesn't violate

Ahimsa. Although it may violate some strict dietary concepts.

 

Many vegetarians that I know will eat eggs now and then, especially

when visiting or under some other pressure. Such as a friend or a

spouse etc.

 

It is better not to eat them but if you must, avoid the battery style

if you possibly can. This compromise has saved many a family and

marriage........and hurt nobody......Eating meat is something else for

it involves the violation of Dharma, Daya and Ahimsa....ONS...Tony.
