Food is not life

The most important thing that nature has put in the inner mind of all organisms is survival, meaning the first goal of all organisms is to survive, so we do everything necessary to survive and advance our consciousness with the subconscious mind, and when we do this work, a chemical is released in our brain which is called dopamine and this gives us happiness Is. Meaning Mother Nature has arranged that in whatever work we fulfill our minimum goal, we feel happy. Such as good food, music, etc.
Then the natural question arises that then why do we like such food which is more junk and unhealthy because it makes us sick, so it should not be natural

But no matter how hard we try, we plan the diet, and in the end, the mind keeps running behind the test. The reason for this is also our survival instinct because no matter how much material progress we have made, we are primitive humans who live in caves.
At that time after getting food, there was no guarantee of getting food the next time, and once the food came in front of him, he was forced to eat more and more because who does not know whether he could not get such food tomorrow or not and had to be hungry for many days, and at such times fat is most important because it keeps us alive in the lack of food. We also like sugar more for this reason because it gives us the energy to work immediately.
You can see the small child for this, how much trouble it is to feed him vegetables or something good, the same chocolate, candy, or junk food he likes the first time

But there is also a reason for this because you see that there is a war going on between Ukraine and Russia, there is a war against Israel and Palestine, and the availability of food has decreased due to the horrors of the war, no matter how much progress we have made, but only one bad event can take us back to the primitive age. And long lines for food and starvation can be forced to see the horrors of death.
So no matter how much progress we make materially, it is in our inner mind that if we do not get this food tomorrow, then eat it today, and all our diet plans become zero But what should we do now, and how to convince ourselves that now the quantity of food is available in abundance and we will not die of hunger.
For that, we have to raise our level a little which separates us from other animals, we have to convince ourselves that we have not come to this earth just to survive, our goal is very big. One way for this is Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra, which tells us that we can attain Godhood from the human body, and by moving on different levels, we can move out of the vicious cycle of survival and move forward on the path of self-welfare.

When we do pranayama and meditation, our consciousness gradually rises, then the system of the mind changes, and the pleasure that comes from good food or sex is automatically achieved manifold. Then external things do not affect it, that is why fasting, etc. was included in our traditions. So that we prepare ourselves slowly. If you consume the green leaves of peepal yourself in this series, then in a few days, as a result, the flow of electrical signals in your brain changes slightly, if you continue to progress in this way, then karmic bonds can also end, it supplies oxygen to the body It is not that one should meditate only for the attainment of God, it can also benefit in maintaining our diet plan, this is one of its many benefits. It is our journey from animality to humanity and tells us that our goal is not just to survive but to self-welfare, there are many ways to meditate, and you can choose from them according to you.

Bhagvat Gita said :

असंशयं महाबाहो मनो दुर्निग्रहं चलम्।
अभ्यासेन तु कौन्तेय वैराग्येण च गृह्यते।। 35।।

Sri Bhagavan said, “O Mahabaho! Indeed, the mind is fickle and difficult to be subdued, but O Arjuna, the son of Kunti! It is subdued by practice and detachment. So far, our efforts are on the surface and we try to stop the mind directly for not eating food or to leave a habit while the mind is not in your control

First of all, prayer –

1. Praying to God is the easiest and most suitable means, it increases the Sattva quality. The power of prayer is a tool that gives us inner strength.

2. Desi Indian cow should start consuming milk and ghee. This increases the Sattva quality.

3. Apart from this, the use of fruits and satvik food should be increased Whatever mantra you have received from the Guru, you should chant it or chant the name.

4. One should take 8 hours of sleep, but he should not take eight hours from twelve o’clock in the night to 8 in the morning, but try to get up by 6 o’clock, and slowly start getting up in Brahma Mahurat.

5. After that start doing pranayama and meditation, in pranayama, Anulom-Vilom, Bhastrika Pranayama can be done, after that meditation should be done. Start cow service, spend some time in the cowshed.

This will increase your Sattva quality. You can also start activities like donating to the deserving. Gradually, you will be able to balance sattvic qualities with your tamasic and majestic qualities
