Hurry, Worry, Curry

[Guest guest]

" Hurry, Worry, Curry "

 

Doctor: Yes, Swami. Latest research also is confirming this. Is there anything

that Swami doesn't know!

 

Swami: How is your mother?

 

Doctor: Her diabetes is better, but she has arthritis.

 

Swami: What is her blood sugar?

 

Doctor: She checks it herself, Swami.

 

Swami: You are the doctor and you don't even check your own mother! These

doctors nowadays don't treat diabetes properly. Best thing is diet control and

exercise. For diabetes, green leafy vegetables are good, except cauliflower.

Cabbage is good. All fruits with black seeds like apples, pears, grapes,

watermelon, etc., are good, except custard apple (as it has too much sugar).

Papaya is good. Avoid all roots, especially potatoes. What else are you doing?

 

Doctor: Research for new medicines for treatment of diabetes, Swami.

 

Swami: The best thing is diet and exercise. What is the cause of heart disease?

 

Doctor: Increased cholesterol, increased blood pressure...

 

" Modern man does not think before he acts. He is always in haste. Haste makes

waste, waste makes worry. So, do not be in a hurry. Hurry, worry, curry, these

are the main causes for heart diseases. Never be in a hurry. Give up all worries

and reduce the intake of curry (fat). " -Sai Baba22 October 2001 Prasanthi

Nilayam

 

Swami: No, it is " hurry, worry, curry. " Too much hurry causes worry and

stress-not good for heart! See Swami (Baba refers to himself), no health

problem! Avoid too much oil. Eating garlic daily can reduce cholesterol. Almonds

without peel can also reduce cholesterol. Soak them in water overnight, remove

the peel, and eat in early morning.

 

Doctor: Isn't garlic rajasic food, Swami? Is it not bad for spirituality?

 

Swami: Body health first; these gunas (inherent qualities) and spiritual health

come next. Without a healthy body, you cannot proceed on the spiritual path.

 

Doctor: How does one control blood pressure, Swami?

 

Swami: Reduce salt. Less salt, less blood pressure, more salt, more blood

pressure.

 

Doctor: Nowadays, there is a new disease called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Patients complain that they don't have any energy to do anything. What is the

cause, Swami?

 

Swami: No cause like that. It is low energy because these people waste a lot of

energy through bad and polluted thoughts, improper and indiscriminate use of

senses. Thus, their energy is drained out and they feel chronic fatigue. If they

can replace their polluted thoughts with good thoughts and divert their senses

towards the Divine, thus, thinking good, seeing good, hearing good, and doing

good, they can recover the lost energy and can get well.
