I have come to the conclusion, one that I had also come to in the past, that in the quest for truth, it does not matter what one eats.
In the quest for truth, the highest and most subtle of all foods, and the sole purpose for anyone’s existence, it matters much more what one thinks and what one does with those thoughts.
One would assume that what one eats should help, but only in as much as one is careful with one’s thinking and again, with what one does with those thoughts.
One cannot eat one’s way to God as it were.
There are many strong individuals with strong intellects. But friends, truth is never born from or perceived through the intellect.
Truth is born of the intuition or it is through that which it is perceived. The intellect is simply a tool of the mind which is then able to translate those mental impulses obtained through the intuition so that those mental impulses are understandable to the conscious mind. All the rest, in other words, anything perceived by and through the intellect, is theory and theory only.
It is for this reason that common scientific theory is always changing and always being revised and corrected. The great astronomer, Galileo, for instance, was forced to recant when he stated that the Earth was not the center of the Universe.
The Yogi, on the hand, being highly developed, is able to discover truths hundreds even thousands of years before the orthodox man of science. The sensitized human nervous system is still the most sensitive of all instruments.
It is dry academic postulation which has been responsible for the religious theories in Zeitgeist for instance. These postulations will not stand as they have nothing to do with science.
To accept these theories as true is then to dismiss the teachings of the great Ones whose very existence these theories seek to challenge.
So called modern science is in its infancy. Yoga, in all its forms, is the only complete science which exists on Earth today. This has always been so and will always be so for as long as the world exists.
Great Personages like Jesus, Krishna, Buddha, Moses, Saint Peter, George King, Patanjali, Sri Ramakrishna, Swami Sivananda, Swami Vivekananda to name a few were great Yogis of Their time and brought great Light into a dark world. These were Avatars not of this world but of a Cosmic Hierarchy which functions strictly according to Law.
What is shocking, and a result of the spate of self styled academic theorists, is not only the lack of appreciation of truth, but also the lack of recognition, never mind appreciation, of greatness.
The pioneer is always misunderstood.
However, in the end, and in relation to diet, it doesn’t matter what one eats nearly so much as how one uses the energy.
