now in the foods in the yogic culture we classify foods into three categories
these are called cetera tunnels and Rajas this can be put it this way pranic
food positive chronic food negative chronic food and zero pranic food
positive prana means it adds a certain pranic energy to the system when you
consume negative prana takes away energy from the system zero neither adds nor
takes away it's eaten for taste and lethargy have people like lethargy you
don't know yes a whole lot of people are telling me we enjoy sleep
nobody can enjoy sleep if you are enjoying sleep you're not sleeping you
may enjoy restfulness you may enjoy the aftereffect of good sleep that's
different you enjoy restfulness you cannot enjoy sleep you fix this in your
head yes or no restfulness must must for a human being because the rest is the
basis of all activity if there is no restfulness in you you are not capable
of dynamic activity yes or no if you're not rested can you be active no rest is
the basis of all activity rest is one thing sleep is another thing you must
differentiate between the two sleep is a certain inertia the
difference between life and death is just this life is a dynamic process of
the energy death is an inertia state of the energy sleep is playing between the
two the more you practice that unknowingly you are inviting death if
you slept for eight hours a day you are inviting death 20 years earlier or 30
years earlier than what it should have come yes or no so if you eat positive
chronic food energy will reverberate in a dynamic way if you eat negative
chronic food it takes away energy and causes certain deviations in energy if
you eat zero pranic it brings lethargy and maybe you can eat it for case to
some extent but look at this classification what are the foods which
fall under this there's no need to look at the positive because a whole lot of
them are positive I can't produce a list we look at the negative chronic list
it's a much shorter list list but unfortunately it may be a list of all
your favorite things too and top of the negative chronic list is garlic
garlic is a very powerful medicine but it's one thing to consume something as a
medicine and it's an entirely different thing to consume it as a daily food
substance it has many many medicinal qualities in Ayurveda and Siddha we use
garlic in a very powerful way for specific ailments but now your logic is
everyday if I pop whatever medicine I can I will be healthy in I rather we say
like this every root every leaf found on this planet has some medicinal quality
it's just that only a few we have learned how to use others we are yet to
learn how to use otherwise every one of them has some medicinal quality if we
are willing to pay attention and learn how to use them so now if you want to be
healthy what you do is anyway it's fall time there's a lot of leaf just go on
eat as much leaf as possible and also take up a few roots and eat it you will
be very healthy that's not how it works something specific for a specific
problem is different just generally consuming medicinal substances is a
different game isn't it garlic is a very powerful medicine if
properly used daily consumption no no because it plays on your nervous system
big time it is a very strong nervous stimulant if you use garlic your nervous
nervous system gets stimulated in a big way anything that stimulates now a
system holds you up for some time and then dumps you daily usage of nervous
stimulants in any form will slowly get you to a place that you become
insensitive to life that you cannot experience now you're holding dog is the
ideal because he's more sensitive than you his nervous system is far more
sensitive than you because he can feel things and know things that you cannot
know this is a higher design than the dog isn't it so shall I continue the
list or just I don't want to become unpopular here
garlic onion has supported a green chillies Oh as a food either maybe you
are not used to it it is something very commonly used in Indian cooking it's a
very strong stimulant should I continue
coffee tea
no tea means the caffeine tea is the tea other things are just placebos okay
they're not tea you can boil any flour any leave any root and call it t that's
not tea tea means the tea leaf which is caffeine all these are nervous
stimulants once in a way if you drink they have some benefits but if it
becomes a daily thing slowly it dulls your nervous system your ability to
experience life is gone we are looking at this dimension of the food mainly in
terms of your sensitive sensitivity to life largely people are ego sensitive
they are not life sensitive they can't feel life for them only their thought
and emotion is life because they can't feel life if you walk out into the
forest you can't feel the tree that's why you call it a wood you can't feel
the creatures around you simply because the sensitivity is gone in so many ways
one thing is just the modern life this television this traffic this constant
reverberations one thing I find when I come here is one thing that makes me get
out of buildings in this country is always something is buzzing you know
something is going it has a very bad effect in the human system see we are
also a kind of reverberation there must be space to allow our reverberations to
grow and spread now these machines have such powerful reverberation constantly
boom something is going on and on top of it what we cannot hear all these wi-fi's
and stuff they are doing their own thing yes in all this there is no room for you
to become life sensitive to sit here and be able to experience the whole universe
takes a certain level of sensitivity I am talking about nervous stimulants in
that context you are lowering the possibility of experiencing life see for
example if you just touch this not everybody will feel just to touch the
same way do you know this it depends on how sensitive your system
is if you feel this you can know many things if you're willing so I'm not a
coffee hater alright but what I am saying is a cup of coffee should not
determine the quality of your life by choice you drink today tomorrow you walk
away it's fine if it's a compulsion if I don't drink my coffee my day is ruined
then you have to do something about it yes I'm only talking about this the only
parameter is are you moving towards freedom or are you getting in slaved in
some way with a cup of liquid you shouldn't get enslaved yes we just about
anything you getting tangled up I am saying do everything by choice then
there's no problem if you do it by choice you know when to
start when to stop isn't it if you do it by compulsion what you start you cannot
stop this is the whole problem it's not like you you become a fanatic I don't
need this I don't need that I eat this I don't need that don't become a food
fanatic it's just that eat by choice every meal
must be by choice not that you've decided this is what you will eat and
this is what you will not eat don't make food into religion it is not it is a
choice and the choice should be according to the needs of the body not
according to social needs not according to cultural needs according to the needs
of this body isn't it
so among the positive planning foods there are a few foods which are very
very positive
you
on top of the list is what is called as an ash guard I think here they call it a
winter melon it is not of the same potency as we find in India the Indian
ash gourd is like phenomenal Asgard is very positive black pepper is very
positive honey is one substance on the planet whose
chemical composition is very close to that of human blood daily consumption of
honey can do wonderful things to you and honey is an extremely good thing to eat
especially if you have children at home make honey culture part of your thing
psychological stability physical well-being vitality all these things can
be greatly enhanced simply consuming daily honey if you have excess fat in
your body if you drink honey with warm water it breaks down the fat in the
system if you drink it with cold water it will give you weight
when we say tamas rajas and does sattva what it means is those kind of food
substances which create lethargy in the system
dullness increases sleep sleep means that you are dead for eight hours a day
or 10 hours a day whatever or one third of your life your enemy dead regice
means you are active in the world activity without the necessary awareness
after some time you will get frustrated with activity because suddenly one day
when you stop and look you don't know why you're doing what you're doing
Thomas means you're conscious it bring consciousness it's not just in food this
is in us we are also recognizing foods which support this that's all it is not
that food will cause these qualities in you you have this quality some should
support that some foods don't support that that's about it
food is not a deciding factor you can eat garbage and still be a Buddha but
why it's something which doesn't support you and go against it so it is like you
bought a diesel car and you put kerosene in it you buy a petrol car and you put
diesel in it it will still go but it will not function at its optimal so we
should see what kind of food are we designed for if you look at this
fundamentally there are various aspects which will tell you certain stories
about what you should eat now it is not only about human beings it is about the
individual human being right now what is the nature of your quality accordingly
you should eat if you leave it your senses your senses know what to eat how
much to eat how much of what to eat but because too much education sense is gone
everything is by information what to eat they will google and see if you you need
initially you said if a farmer can be told about methodological predictions if
fishermen can be told about metallurgical productions how things
will happen I want you to understand even now the best fishermen in the world
never look at the methodological production predictions I have been on
fishing boats with some people off the African coast and Mediterranean coast
they put the nose up in the air and it says in two hours there will be a strong
storm we need to go back ok he never looks at the thing because every other
creature knows that is going to burst Tom if you observe the fish they are all
behaving you know when tsunami happened in southern India we were the first
people to be there in less than 24 hours we were there with medical vans and I
was personally there what I noticed was there were lots of dead bodies human
dead bodies cattle which were tied down they had died none of the loose cattle
had died even the donkeys did not die even the fish not a single dead fish on
the beach all of them knew it's coming only human beings did not know it's
coming not only that in under months we have a Air Force Station they have the
best metal logically stuff they did not know it's coming and the entire Air
Force Base got really washed up why I am telling this to you is because when we
say we are the most evolved life on this planet what it means is
we have the most complex and sophisticated neurological system if we
have the most complex and sophisticated neurological system we must be able to
sense more things than anybody can sense isn't it no no don't clap we are not
sensing anything but now because of a little cerebral activity our thought and
emotion has overtaken us in such a way what you think and feel has become
paramount your psychological drama has bigger has become bigger than the cosmic
drama yes what you are thinking today isn't it more important than what's
happening in the entire cosmos so because of this fallacy because of this
misunderstanding because you're too engrossed in your own psychological
drama you can't sense it otherwise I must tell you this
I was living in a farm in a remote place outside of Mysore
many years ago I hired one guy who's hearing was very bad because his hearing
is bad he looks like a fool because he doesn't understand what people say so in
the village everybody makes fun of him they call him names and things and you
know treat him badly so I said you come and live on my farm so he lived on he
will simply sit like this because he can't have conversations if I have to
have conversation with him I have to shout at him he will understand half the
sentence so he simply sits suddenly one day you gets up and starts preparing the
plow and the bullocks I said what are you doing he says no tomorrow we will
plow I said Who there is the rain says no it's going to rain tonight
look at the sky it's all empty sky how is it going to rain today no Swami it
will rain today and it will for sure rain today and tomorrow morning is
truth-loving at 5:30 in the morning and I thought oh this dumb idiot he knows
something that I don't know so I went there and had just liked him
squatting where he used to sit same place and I put my hand out like this
like this trying to feel the moisture temperature smell of the earth this this
this I took eighteen months every day I sat
because I was insulted this dumb idiot know something that I don't know
I can't take it so i sat there felt it watch the leaves watch the insect watch
the birds then today I will tell you if I say there's going to be rain ninety
percent there is going to be arraigned this is not some magic this is not some
yoga this is just observation that's all see if is a question of survival eat
garbage and you survive what's the problem if it's about survive I think
largely view past that situation of how to survive now it's a question of choice
we've brought life to everything to a choice almost every human being can
choose and eat this still is a segment of unfortunate population which cannot
choose they have to eat what comes but that's not so in this country definitely
one can choose and eat so once choice comes what to eat there's
a whole dimension of how to know what we eat and what not to eat if I go into
this this an elaborate affair but every human being can generate the necessary
awareness that if food appears you know what to eat and what not to eat above
all what kind of food is your system designed for that is the kind of food
you eat don't make food into your philosophy or
a religion food is about the body it must go through the system with minimum
amount of resistance for example because the question is about vegetarian or
non-vegetarian how we look at the food is if you eat any food what is happening
is the food has to become a part of your system it has to be integrated to be
come you if the food that you consume has a very complex sense of memory and
information then our body's ability to break it and make it a part of our cells
is reduced if you eat a simple memory code or the genetic code in a particular
creature let's say you eat and vegetable it is very simple or in other words in
the evolutionary scale whatever is farthest away from you that's what you
must consume or in other words you'll never consume a mammal because it is too
close to you and it's memory is too complex and you will never be able to
break it down 100% if you consume this partly you break the break down the
genetic code another part of it remains or in other words gradually the animal
qualities will enter your system and unknowingly these things will find
expression people are going through anger stress just simply rage everywhere
this is simply because of the one main reason is the food that they're
consuming so whatever is the simplest memory cold that is what you must
consume so that easily you can break it down and make it a part of yourself or
whatever is farthest away from you in the evolutionary scale that's the best
thing so in that context if you must eat non-vegetarian food the fish is the best
thing to eat because it is the first form of life on this planet as it gets
more complex as you come towards mammals is becoming very complex and that's not
suitable for human consumption we can show various parameters in the body the
length of the elementary can all how things happen in the system if you look
at all this clearly the body is stating what it wants when it comes to food you
should not ask your doctor a guru or a nutritionist now you must ask your body
you eat something and see how quickly the food moves out of your stomach back
into the intestine if it's happening very quickly within 2 and 1/2 hours if
everything is gone that's good food to eat if it's lingering on between 4 to 6
hours that not good thing to eat
