In regards to eating meat

[Tenet Nosce]

Yogis also offer this advice, as do other cultures who aim to attain enlightenment.

There have always been offered three paths to enlightenment. The life of the ascetic, as practiced by Mahavira and the Jains is but one path.

In the Greece of antiquity, these were represented by the three mystery schools: Bacchic, Orphic, and Eleusinian. A further development on this emerged in the Fourth Way philosophy, as espoused by Gurdjieff, Ouspenky, Collin, and others.

So I appreciate yogis, but as with the other paths there are those who believe it is the "one true way". Vegetarianism was just as hotly debated in Vedic culture as it is in ours. There are really no new arguments that have been forwarded that I am aware of.

Just another manifestation of duality, with both sides digging their heels in rather than seeking for a common objective.
