Guest guest Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Dear brothers and sisters, Worshipful prostrations at the Holy Lotus feet of our Beloved Maa and Swamiji! My humble pranaams to all of you. Here is a quotation by Sri Sri Anaandamayee Maa on pure food. It is from a small booklet called Sad Vani. Hope you find it useful. "For this body, sattwic food means to nourish oneself with divine thoughts and emotions and to abide in the awareness of Truth or God. If once a day you eat perfectly pure food but remain engrossed in worldly thoughts all day and night, of what use can sattwic food possibly be to you? Within the mortar of the mind, pound the medicine of God's name or of Self-enquiry with the honey of pure aspiration and partake of it. n this way the opportunity for right diet as well as the necessary ingredients for making it effective will be provided from within. At all times let your objectives be noble. Give your whole attention to your work: your mind and body will then develop the qualities you are trying to create by sattwic food. Anything taken in through the senses is food. Therefore be watchful and do not become addicted to what you absorb into yourself. Strive always to keep your appetite under control." My prayers that our hearts become pure and large so that our beloved Maa and Swamiji can come and live there. with love and prayers, srinivasan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
