b.)  “The true disciple does not
need vegetarianism or any of the
physical disciplines
, for the reason
that none of the fleshly appetites have
any control over him.  His problem lies
elsewhere, and it is a waste of his time
and energy to keep his eye focused on
"doing the right things physically,"
because he does them
automatically and his spiritual
habits offset all the lower physical
tendencies

4.)  Initiates:

a.)  “In preparation for certain
initiations, a vegetable diet has in the
past been deemed essential.  But this
may not always be the case, and many
disciples prematurely regard
themselves as in preparation for
initiation.”
