Guest guest Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord The company in which food is consumed, the place, the vessels in which it is cooked, the emotions that agitate the mind of the person who cooks it and serves it - all these have subtle influences on the nature and emotions of the persons who take the final product in! The sages of India realized this. They laid down many do's and don'ts for the process of eating, as for the different stages of spiritual progress. Our thoughts trail off in directions determined by the sounds that fall upon the ear. When the sounds convey rebuke or praise, flattery or challenge, the thoughts too react correspondingly. When the sounds instill ideas of truth, beauty, or goodness, the mind too seeks the silence of truth, the sweetness of beauty and harmony, the strength of goodness. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. XI, P. 49-52. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
