Firstly on another topic you've called the vegetarians a minority that's not true and you know it, considering this is sikh forum. And you've asked admin to stop allowing us to condemn meat eaters as against sikhi. Well unforunately i think the reason they've yet to do that is because they also condemn meat eating as does sikhi and the majority of the sikh population. I've read the article that you posted and it says that the akhal thakt ruled that you can eat meat as long as it's jhatka. Are you trying to tell me that you bring the chicken home and kill youself humanely before eating it. You are misleading easily influenced youths to thinking it's fine to eat meat whenever and however they want. That's not even alright with the 'akal thakt' . And by the way most people disagree with their ruling on this topic hence the reason that most panj pyare say don't eat meant under any circumstances.
Next your quote from Guru Nanak ji is simply saying that you shouldn't think you are superior just becasue you don't eat meat. Which I agree with and I don't think i any better than you, I do however pity your twisted intepretation of gurbani. Because lets face the facts there is no direct quote from gurbani that permits meat eating.
As for the killing plants they don't have a soul i would have thought that was plainly obvious. Every innocent thing that you kill has a soul therefore has to kill you in another life before you can achieve salvation. so good luck with that one. :lol:
And you say sikhism is a universal religion, I'm well aware of that and also the whole aim of sikhism to enable the common man to enable salvation and merge with our creator. The aim of the gurus was the make this accessible to everyone easily and promised us that it would be so if we followed a simple set of rules.
Meat eating is a spiritual hindrance and slows progress (Due to reasons explained earlier) therefore is forbidden by sikhi.
The only way to properly spirtually advance and eat meat involves hours of paat daily and certain shabads to erase the sins that you are commiting. So basically if your hoping to merge with the one universal creator waheguru your making life mighty hard for yourself.
P.s I think deep down you know it's wrong to eat 'flesh' your just taking the easy road.
