Dear Yajvan ji.,
Combining two of your responses in this thread and asking some Qs. First you said, Moksha is not something you have lost to attain or obtain it back just like a "necklace" you always own.
Second, the "meat" eating etc. does not prevent someone from the experience of "Moksha".
How are you connecting these two? What i understand reading your message is, all these rules, regulations etc. are for the bodily existence only and someone who surpass the BM complex will not be bound by such rules or regulations.
Is your message implying that, we should not worry about these "regulation" but still believe there is some magic elevator that will "grant" moksha regardless of what you do with your Body and Mind?
An advanced thinker or believer of "nothing needs to be obtained" should actually believe in no harm in nothing and should have the resolution to advocate "everything" is fine and will not prevent from the experience of Moksha as it is "always there" with in.
But, why or what is stopping you from saying that? Like how Bhishma says, as he consumed the food offered by duryodana, his dhamic nature is clouded and once that blood produced by that adharmic anna is out of his body by the arrow of Arjuna, he was able to talk the "real dharma" and given us the Vishnu SahasraNama. Does that convey something more important and subtle.
No one can sanction our own personal rules in the life style of Dharma and that is not called Dharma anymore if you do so. So, meat eating is prohibited as a regulation to cleanse your "engagement" of atma not just because it will influence the "Body Mind" complex alone. As long the Atma is engaged in maintaining the body and mind, it is not going to look "inside" or "self reveal" etc.
Just my thoughts...you can disagree and disapprove.
Hare krshna
