Eat Drink And Be Sorry
Food is Death – Eat drink and be sorry.Food not offered to Krishna is as good as poison.If you try to offer meat fish and eggs to Krishna, beware you will be in deep trouble soon.You have limited choice about what to offer, just offer only pure vegetarian food cooked in a clean atmosphere.
Food is Death – Amazing but true, this is what the yogis say. Once I was travelling up a mountain in the area famous for Jim Corbett's tiger spottings. Mukteshwar is a lovely place to visit, and a yogi used to live there, but not to be found now, he was an ex-police officer.He used to say that Food is Death.The place he meditated at was atop the mountain, and leopards roamed around this area often.The Himalayan leopards specially can be dangerous.In the spiritual realm,one can expect anything to happen, it is Karma that causes results.When you surrender to the Lord Krishna,The Supreme personality of Godhead, and chant His Holy name, no results ensue except the ones that He ordains, and then you are better situated.Fasting is necessary for proper development of life and without it a person becomes just like an animal, eating, sleeping,mating,defending, till the day comes when the body cannot be maintained further and it has to be discarded. All this is a true, we see it all around us, ageing is happening each moment.Beautiful young faces turn into hideous faces by the food they eat, and the shine is gone.
From today I am taking a new course in life.(This article was written in 2009) I shall eat once a day or even skip that when possible.I shall consume a lot of fruits and juices, Nothing that would poison my insides.Living such a frugal life can be a benediction.
Life doesn't improve if we just lead it in the standard old fashion of eat drink and be merry. It worsens because we end up eating toxins, drinking poison and forget the merry part, it is eat drink and be sorry.
Stupid old sayings like these (Eat drink and be merry) have caused a million deaths just by ingesting some toxic food. Toxicity in meat is well known, especially stored meat,which is seen in the Supermarkets.All these supermarket owners must be falling sick and dying I guess.They sell dead bodies of animals today.Tomorrow they will be born as animals, and the souls that were in the animal form will come and sell them.This is a recycle scenario of souls.Everything gets recycled. Souls are reborn in different forms again and again despite their will or desire. The desire to live positively is strengthened when the person follows the will of Krishna.
My caution to everyone is, first, offer all you wish to eat, to Krishna (do not offer meat,fish and eggs) please or you will instantly become fallen, then after properly worshipping the Lord, eat moderately, be extremely choosy in what you eat. Please at all costs avoid food that has arisen out of the death of some creature, because it entails karma stuff that you do not know about.All the scientists just fool you by saying germs are killed in the freezing process.Did they ever make any process to remove those dead germs from the dead animal's body? Remanents of the dead germs can turn into deadly virus.There is plenty of food for everyone only if we decided to live on vegetarian food.There is plenty, it is the market forces that cause waste of food by pushing non-vegetarian products that eventually harm humans.People are dying, it is a non-stop process.Dont add yourself to the list.
Stop eating meat, and start eating good vegetarian food.There is plenty of it for all. Fruits,Vegetables,sweets and what not.Just develop a taste for fresh food, and freshness will be inside you forever thereafter. Lord Krishna is pleased when we follow his lifestyle.We msut emulate (not immitate) Lord krishna, not any one else. Butter (little quantity), palak saag (not if you are prone to kidney stones please), humble roti(reduce qty with age), lassi(preferrably low fat with more water), mmm so refreshing .
Drinks that we consume to cool us are also the cause of deterioration of the stomach lining.This cocacola and pepsi stuff, its so sickening in reality.We are paying to make those companies richer and our health just suffers.Aerated drinks give a bloated feeling, the stomach wall distends, protective lactobacillus are lost,we lose capability to digest food properly and on the top of a coke we fill the intestines with Mozarella cheese and potato fries…..what else do you think will happen? Your paunch will grow further if you keep eating junk food. Eat good, light foods.Another bad habit is to sleep soon after eating. Avoid this, spend a long time after dinner, chanting,walking around the house if you cannot go out in the heat. I have said enough, it is for you to make changes.
Hare Krishna.
