I read in Shankaradigvijaya about the Shankara eating meat and molten nails episode.

Thanks for explanation of everything.

At the end of the day one cant help feel a bit
" cheated" that there is nothing really divine at all.

Everything is just the neuronal.activity of someone or the other and even Karma theory could be evolving in future and some new theory might mushroom( btw I love mushrooms..best ones come from china and japan..its a fungi actually..so its not an animal and not fully a plant either.

Coming back to main story..that means part of Vedas is primitive too and we can surely just look.at it as history but not as anything holy...i guess Ahimsa was never Paramodharma.

So as Hindus one should not get too worked about Eid Ul Adha bovine sacrifice cos that too is a Yagna with sacrificial animal only thing no fire...so Abrahamic religions are early stage " Vedic" school of.thought and may be in a matter of time they too would reach an Upanishadic stage of understanding.
