Food is God - Do not waste food.

 

Firstly,consider the food we consume. Eat only what you need to eat. Do not be

greedy. Do not take more than you can eat and waste the rest, because wasting

food is a great sin. The surplus food can feed another stomach. Do not waste

food, because food is God, life is God, and man is born from food. Food is the

main source of man's life, body, mind and character. The gross part of the food,

which is the major portion of the food consumed by the body, is thrown out as

waste matter. A minute amount of the food, which is the subtle part, is

assimilated by the body and flows as blood. And a minuscule amount, which is the

subtlest part of the food, makes up the mind. Therefore, the mind is the

reflection of the food consumed. The reason for the present beastly and demonic

tendencies in our minds is the food we consume.

 

A large part of the water we drink is expelled as urine. A minute part of the

water consumed becomes the life force (prana). Therefore, the nature of the food

and water that we take in decides our character. Only by controlling the quality

of our food and water can we attain Divinity. This is why food is said to be

God. Hence, to waste food is to waste God. Do not waste food. Eat only what you

need, and be sure that what you eat is Sathwic. Give any surplus food to those

in need.
