༊ Yes, self and body
are the embodiment of you. You, be it English, French, Bhutanese, Indian,
Russian and anyone you are just coexistence of self and body. What your body
need or want? Certainly, people from all races will agree that their primary needs are food and clothing.
You eat food. You consume a variety of foods, with the exception of those that are spoiled. You
eat food to nurture your body. I hope you are not eating to bulge your tummy, to
shit countless times, or to make yourself less comfortable. You just take food for to
nurture your body.
Food consists of only two things: nutrition and taste. Do you take food for nutrition or taste? Definitely you are more focused on taste rather
than nutrients. You forget about nutrition. By the time you realize about the
nutrients of the food, your body will be almost spoiled with many kinds of
diseases like diabetes, obesity etc. The body that you intend to nurture
inadvertently gets spoiled.
Taste is limited only to a few inches of your tongue. The
moment it drains down through throat there is no more taste. Taste of the food
is for self not for body. And that is why you are enlightened wrong; that taste
is for the body to nurture. But nutrients acts more inside your tummy.
You might have seen cobra still showing its venomous tough
and teeth, frog still looking from the bottle in laboratories. Why they are not
getting rotten? They are added with
preservatives, chemicals. All most every junk food is added with preservatives
and you never know that you are actually consuming chemicals which will harm
your body.
You never look at the quality of life rather than the
quantity of consumption.
For instance, you have Nu.10, and you want to buy a packet of
Maggi, which is not healthy and good for your body. Instead what if you buy few
pieces of grapes and have which is tasty and nutritious? Whereas maggi contains
preservatives and you never know what more else is added. No organic materials
have that long life. It will soon get rotten.
