Radhe krishna,
Good morning & have a blessed day,
AVOID OVER-EATING
Swami Sivananda
Nature herself does rationing. If you eat too much sweetmeats and take
too much sugar, the pancreas is overworked, you get diabetes and
nature forces you to give up sugar. If you take too much meat and
proteins, the kidneys are overworked and you get albuminuria. Nature
forces you to give up protein substances. He who eats much deprives
the food of others and commits a great sin. He must be punished. Give
rest to the internal digestive organs by fasting. You can have a
healthy long life. May you grow wise from today at least and lead a
healthy life by taking simple, natural foods and giving up overeating!
In this task, may the Almighty Supreme Being be your constant help. In
this task, may
Gurudev’s love and his grace be with you and let the 31st of December,
see you a
transformed being, see you a being that is radiant, illumined, full of
beauty, full of joy, full of
purity, full of sublimity, a transformed being. Let us make that the
goal, the target; and let us
strive to achieve it through the twelve months that are going to
unfold before us within the next
few days. It is such things that make life worth living. Otherwise,
what is there? Eating,
drinking, sleeping, urinating, defecating? Living in a cage full of
dirt, slime and phlegm? And
what is there in this body? It is but food for the worms. What is
there in this body which has to
be cleaned every day, with discharges through the ears, through the
eyes, with nasty, filthy stench
accumulating in the mouth? What is there in this body, made out of
gross food, polluted food,
poisoned food, artificial dead things, devitalized white flour and
white sugar? What is there in
this body, the very residence in which is itself an imprisonment, a
bondage, a punishment? Yet
the one redeeming feature of this residence in this nasty cage of
flesh and bones is that if you are
wide awake, if you are wise, if you are determined, you can make this
tenancy in this filthy,
perishable body subject to disease, decay and dissolution a great saga
of liberation, an adventure
unto perfection. Otherwise, there is nothing to recommend it.
Therefore, make it worthwhile, your residing in this body-prison.
