Never eat meat
Spiritual values are declining as modern yoga teachings compromise core principles. Many people now believe they can eat meat while following a spiritual path, which is incorrect. This acceptance has spread from some teachers who traveled from India. True spiritual progress requires strict adherence to non-violence and purity, including a vegetarian diet. Those who maintain these practices, like certain sādhus, demonstrate the correct way. We must reject the new, permissive teachings and return to the authentic "Yoga in Daily Life" discipline. This path demands we avoid meat and live purely, ensuring clarity of mind and spiritual growth. We must be strong and share this correct understanding to guide others back.
"They also say that if one wants, one can eat meat too. And that is not good."
"We should all come back and become like this—no meat, nothing."
