Sai Baba Gita - Food gives Rise to Thoughts, Feelings and Actions

[Guest guest]

Food gives Rise to Thoughts, Feelings and Actions

Therefore, perform all actions with only the feeling of sacrifice in your heart,

not with a self-serving feeling of egoism. The results will be good or bad,

beneficial or harmful depending on the type of actions you perform. The actions

themselves depend upon the feelings of selflessness or selfishness you have. The

feelings, in turn, depend on the thoughts you harbor. And the thoughts depend on

the food that you consume. Therefore, you have the sequence of food leading to

thoughts, thoughts leading to feelings, feelings leading to actions, and

actions leading to results. These results, in turn, lead to more feelings, ones

of pain or joy, depending on the nature of the actions, feelings, thoughts and

food. From this you see the great importance of always taking in very pure and

wholesome food.

Assume that a sage performing a vedic ritual makes a small fire, as is

prescribed by the scriptures. The smoke pouring forth will depend on the type

of fire that was made. A cloud will form as a result of the smoke that has

risen up. Water vapor condenses due to the cloud and there are droplets of

rain. The crop below depends on the rain, and so the food that is consumed

depends upon the crop. Finally, the physical body, being the same as food,

depends on the food that is taken in. Therefore, even food can be traced back

to the type of actions, in this case, to the fire that had been built and the

sacrifice that had been performed.
