Guest guest Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Question: I have heard it said that the Maharshi set no rules of conduct or lifestyle within the Ashram that came up around him. Therefore, how can what is being said regarding a vegetarian diet be essential for spiritual attainment? It is in fact openly stated, and recorded within several of the published core teachings at the Ashram that Bhagavan Ramana set forth only one regulation for the devotees living within the Ashram, as well as for those living outside that followed his teaching. This one rule of life regarded the maintaining of a sattvic (pure) diet. you-are-what-you-eat Food influences the mind and it must be kept pureMrs. Piggott: Why do you take milk, but not eggs?M.: The domesticated cows yield more milk than necessary for their calves and they find it a pleasure to be relieved of the milk.D.: But the hen cannot contain the eggs?M.: But there are potential lives in them. http://bhagavan-ramana.org/diet.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
