Today's Thought for the Day

If we wish to be efficient in our discharge of duties, what is the best eating habit to follow? Bhagawan lovingly explains to us today.
Food
habits are of primary importance when health has to be secured and
maintained. When these are not regulated, health suffers. One should
restrain the wild adventuresomeness of the tongue. Among the 84 lakh
species of living beings, except humans all live on food as provided by
Mother Nature. Man alone strives to make such food more palatable, more
attractive to the senses of sight, touch and smell by boiling, frying
and freezing, and mixing, grinding and soaking. The consequence of this
greed is ill-health and debility. One should realise that food
materials, as offered by nature, are really more beneficial. When heat
is applied, they lose the vitality yielding components and cannot confer
strength and efficiency. The person ages fast and loses the
sprightliness of youth. Catering to the cravings of the tongue and
swallowing heavy foods three or four times a day can only add to the
heap. Regular and limited intakes alone can enable a person to discharge
one's duties.
