Food & God

[Guest guest]

Food & God

 

Food has God. God is food.

Food has life. God is life.

Food has reality. God is reality.

Food has sound-success.

God is sound-success.

Food has silence-progress.

God is silence-progress.

 

I eat.

I eat to survive.

From my very birth I have been seeking nourishment.

Food saves my life from starvation.

Food saves my life from extinction.

 

Mine is the hunger that does not permit me to think soulfully.

Mine is the hunger that does not permit me to act selflessly.

Mine is the hunger that does not permit me to pray to God constantly.

Mine is the hunger that does not permit me to meditate spontaneously.

Mine is the hunger that does not permit me to love God unconditionally.

 

I know my food-hunger is reasonable and inevitable. But my power-hunger is

unreasonable and unpardonable. Finally, my God-hunger is incomparable and

insurmountable.

 

O Body, I tell you a supreme secret: " Shortage is poverty. "

O Vital, I tell you a supreme secret: " Rivalry is poverty. "

O Mind, I tell you a supreme secret: " Doubt is poverty. "

O Heart, I tell you a supreme secret: " Insecurity is poverty. "

O Life, I tell you a supreme secret: " Impurity is poverty. "

O Truth-seeker, I tell you a supreme secret: " Disobedience is poverty. "

O God-lover, I tell you a supreme secret: " Ingratitude is poverty. "

 

I eat to live.

Indeed, this is my wisdom-light.

I live to eat.

Indeed, this is my ignorance-night.

God says to my desire-life:

" Love to live. "

God says to my aspiration-life:

" Live to love. "

God says to my realisation-life:

" Love to become a oneness-heart. Live to be a perfection-life. "
