 FOOD & VEGETARIANISM
Sage Uddalaka instructs his son Svetaketu: 'Food when consumed
becomes threefold.The gross particles become the Excrement, the middling ones flesh, and the fine ones the mind, verily the
mind is food".Mind is formed of the Subtlest portion of food which today's scientist cannot comprehend through their instruments.If
the food is impure, the mind also becomes impure in its workings.This is the dictum, of the Great ancient sages of India.Wrong
food like Non-Veg, Bitter, Roasted, Stale, Excessively Hot, Pungent, Dry, Burning, Rotten does wield tremendous Negative influence
on the mind which can be seen in our everyday lives around us.After a sumptuous indigestible meal, it is very difficult to
control the mind, it runs, wanders & jumps like an ape, all the time.Alcohol causes great excitement in the mind.Therefore
mind being out of control one cannot Meditate on God, Jesus, Allah or Buddha.Diet is of three kinds, viz., Sattvic diet, Rajasic
diet & Tamasic diet.In Bhagvad Gita, Lord Krishna Says to Arjuna : " The food which is dear to each is threefold.The foods
which increases Intelligence,Vitality, Energy, Vigor, Health & Joy and which are delicious, bland,Substantial & agreeable
are dear to the pure. because elevating thoughts imply fine Vibrations which can only be derived from pure satwic food.The
passionate persons desire Rajasic foods Like Fish, Eggs Meat, Salt, Junk Food, Chilies, Asafetida that are bitter,
sour, saline, excessively hot or cold, pungent, dry, burning produce only pain, grief, Excite passions, make mind restless
unsteady uncontrollable & disease.The foods like Beef of Non-Veg, Wine, Drugs Onions,Tobacco, Garlic, Cold Drinks &
Food Which is stale, tasteless, putrid, Rotten like Non-Veg and impure(preserved) is dear to the Tamasic" which leads
to Ignorance, Anger, Violence, disease, death, suffering, misery, distorted intellects, darkness & inertia.Foods like
Raw Milk Of Cow, Barley, Fruits, Almonds, Honey, Nuts, Natural Juices are all Sattvic food Stuffs which render the mind
pure, calm are good for mental development ,uplift person spiritually, keeps body free from disease, decay &
aid in meditation or prayers.
The Chemical components of different foods vibrate at varying
rate.Each particle of different foods is a mass of Energy whose Atoms/Prana vibrate at higher or lower levels .The
intake of certain foods sets the discordant vibrations in the physical body which throw the mind into a state of Oscillation
& disequilibrium.Concentration of mind is rendered difficult & high thinking is disturbed.That is why we often see
People Eating Non-Veg(Tamasic or Rajasic Food) or drinking Alcohol taking Drugs Committing most heinous
crimes, are Cruel, Impatient, Intolerant, Quick in anger, Fiery Speech, Brutal, Prone To New Infectious Diseases like
Mad Cow disease, Restless, Devoid of Higher Pure Intelligence & Knowledge, Poor Concentration, Has Criminal Behavior,
Become Extremist, Indulge in Violent Debased Sexual Behavior, Eager To Fight, Indulges in Violence, Takes to Pleasure in Hurting
& Killing others, are Ignorant, Corrupt, Sinful, Become Possessed With Demons, Ghosts, Pretas, Jinns,
Disembodied Spirits (Because they feed on these diets & possess such person from whom they can get such pleasure of Eating),
lack Mercy, Sympathy & lastly inability to understand or comprehend the Pure knowledge of their own Religions.
Wrong Food also leads to many diseases like Gout, Rheumatism,
Mad Cow Disease,Tape Worms,Cancer, Consumption, Eating disorders, Appendicitis, Failure of Kidneys, Albuminuria, Infectious
Diseases, Acidity, Poor Digestion, Liver Problems, Increased or Disturbed Body Temperatures, Fevers, Problems of
The Pancreas, Genetic disorders or Genetic passing of Wrong Life styles or Temperament & much more.... In large meat
eating countries percentage of these diseases are high & growing so are their problems mentioned above.Flesh eating
involves exercise of Cruelty which is not a elevating virtue.Cruel persons cannot realize God, Allah, Jesus, Krishna, Buddha.It
is a bestial quality which degrades man.Killing of Animals is condemned in all the religions of the world as it involves sin.Even
Pythagoras condemned meat diet as sinful food.George Bernard Shaw say "that as long as men torture and slay animals &
eat their flesh we shall have war." Just See in today's world only those People & Countries who Eat Wrong Food are Fighting
, Waging wars, Terrorism, Extremism are Full of Anger, Colonizing & are Intolerant Dictators. If you Eat Wrong food
Or Non-Veg you Become Animal & fight like Animals.Nature provides us with the excellent examples with regard to this in
the form of Tiger who eats Non-Veg therefore Full of Anger, Ferocious, Violent, Aggressive, Restless, Merciless, Intolerant,
Terror To all other animals i.e. similarly Elephant eats Veg Food is more Calm, Well developed, Silent, Intelligent, Patient.
So Pure Food makes us Calm, Help Us Controlling Our thoughts, fit to Realize God, Practice Yoga, Meditation & Higher
Spiritual Practices like Kundalini Yoga & Even Activating our Chakras.
What Koran & Islam Says " Any man may attain liberation
by his faith and Good actions.The flesh & blood of the animals that are sacrificed shall never reach God,But Your Purity
Shall Reach God.The Flesh & blood of the animals you kill, Shall Not Bring Salvation for you.Kill this Ego. Serve The
Humanity. Sacrifice your money, time & Energy in the service of the poor, the oppressed.This will give you Salvation or
Freedom". Not The Western Type Distorted Version of Freedom.Purity is achieved by taking Pure food through all our senses
& Virtuous actions.Humans Will continue to suffer till they destroy any creation of God & Will Be Punished By
The Cosmic Law & The Animals as their cause of Disease, Ignorance & Death or Even Rebirth In the Darkest Wombs
of Lower Animals & to be Fodder for other Animals.
Swami Vivekanand Says : "Pure Food brings Pure mind and is
a pure mind is the Constant Memory of God".
Where there are Purity, kindness and humility there spirituality
springs up, saintliness shines, divinity descends and perfection manifests itself.-- Sri Swami Sivananda
When diet is wrong medicine is of no
use. When diet is correct medicine is of no need.
