Namaste,

 

An egg isn't an embryo unless it is fertilised!!!!!!!!

 

In the Indian villages most are fertilised, some aren't.

 

Most eggs, 99.9%, these days aren't fertilised...........So although

thay be asatvic they are in the main non violent.

 

It is a broad brush to say the egg is a living embryo, is a human

woman's eggs an embryo? If so-----they are well wasted at menstruation

then.

 

So I agree with Ramana but qualify it. Otherwise one cannot eat seeds

either for they would be embryos.

 

It is useless to nit pick---one has always to do one's best and the

always the lesser of evils.

 

It is better not to eat eggs, but it is almost impossible with most

pasta, bread and a million packaged products, and drinks containing them.

 

I went through a phase where my family didn't eat any eggs or egg

products, but as we didn't live in an environment that supported that

it became a great and controversial difficulty. So out of Daya I

allowed the kids and family to eat eggs and products again, and

myself. This was many years ago now, and they have their own homes and

still eat eggs, occasionally, but otherwise are still vegetarian.

Which they may not have continued to be.

 

It is a great and useful compromise in the Western World for sadhakas.

It is also less hard on guests and visiting non vegetarians etc etc.

 

Also no entity goes into any embryo until it satisfied that it will

survive. That could be partially at 3-4 months and fully at the first

24 hour birth cycle, changing entities even. The only entity that

enters and embryo at conception is a 'Divinity'.........Animals differ

according to the length of pregnancy.

 

In the end result there is a vast difference between eggs and animals

being slaughtered, containing 'entities or

souls'.....ONS...Saktidas/Tony.IMHO.
