And the Masters M & KH weren't vegetarians all the time either, and so
didn't seem to be impressed by it all. I have mentioned when KH went for
his higher initiation, and then returned, he discovered that the meat
eating atmosphere of Morya's house was too offensive for him, and they had
to clean and to neutralize the house before he could enter. He observed,
however that he would probably be hardened to it in about a year's time.

And then there is the comment made by Master Morya, (I think) to A.P.
Sinnett telling him not to bother becoming a vegetarian, since he would
never become an iniatiate in this life time anyway.

His attitude seems to me to be that there needs to be a special reason to
give up eating meat, and that otherwise it dosen't matter. He is not
concerned with the "moral" aspects of it.
