Be a vegetarian, there are no choices if you want to progress in spiritual life.The body has to be first purified of all that karma it has taken by eating meat, it takes years, believe me.In 1978 I gave up meat, and today I feel very happy and clean inside, but just the thought of meat can disturb the mind at times.Determination,strong resolve arise from the heart, but make the initial effort of rejecting meat intake first.
