Thus Spake The Lord

 

 

 

Millions of living beings grouped as species dwell on earth; they sustain themselves by means of food secured from Nature, as provided by Nature. It is only man that is an exception. He is the only living being which dislikes raw food found in the natural state. All other animals eat food as they are - grain, grass, leaves, shoots, fruits. Man boils, fries, melts, mixes and adopts various methods of cooking in order to satisfy the cravings of the tongue, the eyes and the nose. As a consequence, the food value of these articles are either reduced or destroyed. Birds and beasts do not adopt such destructive methods. They eat things raw and consume the strength-giving vital essence. So, they do not fall victim to the many ills that man brings on himself.

 

When the seeds are fried, they do not sprout; that is clear proof that the "life-force" is eliminated. Therefore, uncooked food, nuts, fruits and germinating pulses are the best. Use these at least at one meal, say, for dinner; this will ensure long life. And long life is to be striven for in order that the years may be utilized for serving one's fellow-beings.
