Guest guest Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 " What is food? Does it constitute merely rice and vegetables that we consume? No. The whole world is composed of food. Therefore it is said, food is God. You offer the food to God by chanting the Sloka, "Brahmarpanam…"before you partake of it. But where is God? He is very much in you. That is why He responds to your prayer immediately from within: "Aham Vaishvanaro Bhoothva…"meaning, "I am in you in the form of Vaishvanara, digesting the food that you consume. Sathyam forms the basis for food. What is Sathyam? It is that which creates food. Sathyam comprises of three syllables - Sath, Ye, Yam, which stand for the Individual (Jiva), food (Annam) and the sun. Sunlight produces food, which sustains the individual. So, Truth is the basis for all. Our ancients considered Truth and righteousness as their very life breath. But, people today aspire for food, neglecting Truth. They fail to understand that Truth is the basis for food. - Swami Unlimited freedom, unlimited storage. Get it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
