Is vegetarian food a remedy :-) ? The answer will evolve right

here...hopefully....

 

Time and again human beings question "Why give up non-vegetarian

food to attain a first step towards spirituality?" I have made a

humble attempt to answer this questions from my heart. So please

bear with me and go through this posting.

 

I dont care whether you eat a small or a large quantity of meat. I

am not an orthodox Hindu. I am interested only in the Truth. I would

extrapolate and simply say that you perform a simple experiment. Put

a slice of meat on one plate, a slice of fish on another, some eggs

on a 3rd plate, and some fruit on a 4th plate. Then look at the

plates every two hours and see which food rots first. That will make

you understand which food retains their beauty and fragrance and

life energy.

 

What flesh do those animals eat whose flesh people eat? What meat do

those animals eat to fatten themselves? Are they fed meat, or do

they eat grass and cereals? If we eat the same thing that they eat,

we will also have meat in our bodies. Its not that we have to eat

meat to produce meat in our bodies.

 

There are very practical reasons for eating vegetarian food. Plants

are full of life energy, but there is no life energy in meat. The

food we eat is split into 3 parts during the digestive process The

highest and subtlest portion of it, which is the energy itself,

becomes one with "prana", the life force. The middle portion turns

into flesh. The inferior matter becomes waste and is expelled from

the system. From meat one gets only the middle portion, which is

flesh. One cannot derive any of the Life Force from it.

 

Someone said once " I always wash my body in the morning, but by

evening it begins to smell very badly. Why is is that some people's

bodies do not smell, even though they have not taken a bath for so

long? The answes is right here.. Most of the time people eat only

stale food that has only bad odors. If you do not eat that kind of

food, there will be no odors.

 

Remember meat is created from food.

 

Most of the time we only live by listening to other people and

seeing what others do. We do not understand and act by ourselves.

Wheat, ghee, milk and vegetables are very good for us. If we eat

this kind of food, our body never stinks because that food is very

pure.

 

The body is born of food, it is sustained by food, and in the end it

will merge into food. Eating is also Yoga. If you eat easily

digestible pure, and nourishing food and eat it punctually, then it

will be very good for spiritual growth.

 

I am not talking Hinduism; I am uttering the truth. If people arue

and say "meat id very good for us", then why are people in the West

so fond of salads? It is because they derive "LIFE FORCE" from

salads :-).

 

Aum Shanti Shanti Shanti.

-Hi all,

Sanjay's points are proper and excellent. Only a satvic mind can

evolve further towards liberation. Satvic mind comes from eating

satvic foods only.

The western way of living rests with the Annamaya Kosa. They are not

aware of the other 4 kosas-pranamaya, manomaya, vijnanamaya,and

anandamaya. Same is the case with western medicines. All their

treatment is to the structural level-physical body. Diseases can be

healed by caring for the other 4 kosas as well.

Dear Friends,

 

I totally accept that Vegtarian food is good and leads

to better mental tendencies. However I am not totally

for the idea that vegetarian food is a must for

spiritual evolution ..

 

there are sects of tantric cults where drinking wine

eating meat and having sex (under certain stipulated

conditions) that are supposed to take a person to

spiritual high ...

 

Comming to the life force etc .. I dont think plants

have greater life force than Animals ... a apple that

is cut open rots quite fast too !!

 

"Hinduism is a way of life" ... truth is god and his

onness with everything else !

 

Surya.
