Guest guest Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Dear Tony: There are other reasons why eggs are considered a poor choice in diet. Although there seems to be a split in categorizing them as rajasic or tamasic, they certainly are not considered sattvic. A simple Google search of "eggs and rajasic foods" led to some of the links below, and many more which I will not list... Some people may find they are allergic to foods that are considered sattvic, or women may find that certain foods are not wise for them at certain stages in their life cycles. Each person has to examine their needs and their goals, and choose according to their intuition. http://www.sanjeevkapoor.com/ayurveda/page_5.asp http://www.womenfitness.net/yoga_pro_diet.htm http://members.rediff.com/spiritualhealth/annamaya2.htm http://spirituality.indiatimes.com/articleshow/26155287.cms http://www.sivananda.org/teachings/philosophy/threegunas.html Love, Joyce > Namaste, > > Many systems allow the eating of eggs provided they are unfertilised > and are free run or free range..........Paramahamsa Yogananada did > allow it. > > This is based on the idea that eggs are not yet an animal in the most > popular sense.

Jeeze Louise, yosy, if you have to continually apologize to Harsha for what you are typing, why not just delete it first and save us all the trouble? Knock it off! How many warnings are needed here??

Harshaji has his blind spots, as we all do, only what makes his an exceptional soul is that he unhesitatingly admits to having them. He may be fooled by your "sweet" persona, but I am not. I have seen its other side in equal measure. I don't trust you, yosy, and I think you're trouble. You refuse to change your ways even after having received several warnings by Harsha, who has, in my opinion, been more than gracious with you. If this were my list, you would have been put on strict moderation a long time ago. Lucky for you, I guess, it's not! Kheyala Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha. *********************** I did not notice it but thanks for pointing it out Dear Kheyala. You are all so funny, and especially you Yosyji and Seesuji and Shaktidasji. One can never underestimate the entertainment value here. Joyceji was pretty funny too advising Tonyji to give up his home to join the local Indian tribe. Kheyala ji is right Yosyji. No need to apologize. I am not watching over you and do not wish to cause anyone any stress. My only intent is that people respect the list culture which is not difficult to figure out. Humor in good taste is good. Bad humor must meet a higher standard of creativity and insight and not the usual cliches. Words are a form of divine energy. In the beginning, there was the Word. The Word was with God and the Word was God. Love to all Harsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namaste H, I have four Native Grandchildren, is that close enough?..........ONS..Tony. *************************** Yes, good enough for me Tonyji! Hello everyone, I am out of town and just glancing through the messages. Obviously I missed a lot of them and just now saw the spicy exchange between Kheylaji and Yosyji. All I ask for is that you two hug each other tightly. Don't be mad, be glad! Kheyala ji is absolutely right in saying that I have many blind spots. In addition, I have many soft spots as well. Blind and soft, you can perhaps understand my predicament. Anyway, my moderation has no specific logic anymore (that can be explained) so please don't hold me to very high standards. Actually, you can hold me to high standards but it might require my being lifted up to them. I moderate on whims now. That is my newest strategy. Dear and Respected Kheyalaji and Vickiji, and Joyceji, perhaps you should be the moderators! Love to all Harsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the nice words Yosy. Yes, I suppose being delicate and sensitive are my second nature. The soft flower that I am, harsh words easily offend me. Good for me that I know the essence and recover easily from this stuff. Dear Yosy, for me (senstive and delicate that I am), it is not a compliment to be complimented while in the same breath you are insulting Kheyala. There are not enough words to describe how special Kheyala is. Please get with the program Yosy or I will hand you over to Lady Joyce.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 as a wise man remarked, it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles the man, bout what comes out of it. the body is indeed a temporary ever-changing state of food. a walking shit pump, to be blunt (apology, harshiji...) while satvic food is doubtlessly conductive to the sadhaka's spiritual progress, at least when setting on the journey, it is more important to concentrate on the moment to moment enquiry into and remembrance of the everpresent truth, which is facing us in all forms always, and our relating to it... giving too much attention to the body is imo like cultivating a disease or a wound. respectfully yosy Lady Joyce [shaantih (AT) comcast (DOT) net] Friday, December 03, 2004 4:02 AMSubject: Re: [ - Ramana Guru] Eating eggs the rationale.Dear Tony:There are other reasons why eggs are considered apoor choice in diet.
