This is a question of how picky you want to be. Eating eggs does incur some karma, but it doesn't kill you on the spot. It's one of those things that it's better not to do but if it happens occasionally I don't worry about it. We are not Jains. We have a very powerful spiritual practice (banis, reciting Sat Nam, Wahe Guru etc.) which wipes away karma in large amounts. Better to spend your mental energy on bigger subjects.
