Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Namaste Eric: Glad you are feeling better. So great that you are part of our wonderful world wide family. I too forget to eat regularly, and my health practitioner finally helped me understand the damage to the body. Guess who referred me to the practitioner? Maa of course. So, everywhere I turn, She is there is some form or the other, helping me to grow and see Her in everything.

The body is made of food, annamaya kosha, and the energy that fuels it's activities, physical and mental, is largely biochemical for the time being. If one neglects the physical vehicle, thinks one is beyond eating or simply becomes neglectful of eating, while engaging in a worldly life, watch out.Your physical vehicle can deteriorate, then your sadhana, your work and studies becomes impeded. Becoming too involved with these things, I often forgot to eat and thus neglected common sense. > > Hunger doesn't register very often. As you noted, Divine Mother has graciously pointed out the relevant message. This is a tremendous direct blessing. The Divine Mother's protection is quite astonishing. Im grateful beyond words for the opportunity to study the Chandi together. > Love, > Eric > > inspectionconnection108 <inspectionconnection108 wrote: Namaste Eric: Sorry to hear you became so ill.
