The Basic Four- Food(1)

Dear Friends

Namaskaar!

Aahaar (Food), Nidra(Sleep), Bhae(Fear) and Maithun(Sex) that are common in every creature; let us take ‘food’ first of all. 

Food is the basic necessity of and for life. The Nature has made food available for every creature. The Nature hardly creates scarcity of food for any creature that lives on this planet.  It is only ‘Cultured and civilized human being’ that creates problems for its fellow-beings.

  

In the world of animals there is never a scarcity of food.

 A lion is out for hunting. He gets his prey. He takes his share and goes away to have a nap. Then others come and have their share and go away peacefully. There may be a quarrel or a battle but they are never at War for food.

The animals sit silently, seasons change. The trees blossom, the grass grows. The animals graze or eat fruits of their like and are satisfied. The cycle of life goes on.

The animals which are vegetarian eat grass, fruits and vegetables. The animals which are non-veg take their own course. There is never a conflict.

Some animals are of dual nature. They are vegetarians and non-vegetarians both, for example- a Dog. A dog can eat both types of food vegetarian and non-vegetarian. Strange enough, Man also has the very same nature. It is a strange similarity between both of these. Perhaps that’s why they are fast friends. From ages they are in friendship with each other may it be Yudhishter of Mahabharata age or Barrack Obama of modern age.

Darwin has every right to say that ancestors of man are the monkeys. But I doubt. The similarity of nature of the man is with a dog. The scientists must re-search.

The religion of Hindus is called the most ancient one on earth. The Hindus try to feed their dead fore-fathers on the dark- half part of their Lunar Calendar month Aashwin every year. They perform this ritual of theirs very religiously.

During these fifteen days to satisfy their fore-fathers they feed a Brahmin. a Dog and a Crow. Strange enough! Why a dog and why not a monkey? If any of learned readers know it. Please inform me and increase my knowledge.

So, the necessity of ‘food’ is to our fore-fathers also, some think and act accordingly.

Anyway.

Friends, take food that makes you more conscious, alert and aware and not a dull one. A food that makes you more sensitive and sensible towards mankind.

Next, we shall talk about ‘Nidra’.

Jai MahaKaal!
