Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 All: 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. --Sanjay Aggarwal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 -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. -- In , "sanjaytechnology" <sanjaytechnology> wrote: > All: > > Is vegetarian food a remedy :-) ?

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 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 !
