By
moderating and modulating the habits of eating and drinking, one can
lay the foundation for a spiritual life. You must prefer sathwik (pure and vegetarian) foods to rajasik
foods. By drinking intoxicating stuff, one loses control over one’s
emotions, passions, impulses, instincts, speech and movements; and one
even descends to the level of a beast. By eating flesh, one develops
violent tendencies and animal diseases. The mind becomes more
intractable when one indulges in rajasik food. It is difficult to
remould the mind, if such food is consumed with relish. To dwell on God,
one should be vigilant about the food and drink consumed by both - the
body and the mind.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
