So, someone said to a woman, "Your dog is very beautiful" She said, "Don't call him a dog, he is my son" That's too much, she made the dog her son She said, "I have three kids" There was a boy and a girl in front of her so she said - "This is Shampy, Simple and Georgie" The dog was called Georgie "Don't call him a dog, he is my son - Georgie" Now, if someone chops off your Georgi's head and cooks it in the oven and makes a hot dog How tasty would you find it to eat? It's a strange thing You love your dog as a pet There are shops for dogs, a grooming van for dogs comes to your house There are beauty parlors for dogs They do do nail manicure and pedicure for dogs Right...food for dogs, medicines for dogs...and a dog is not a dog The dog is 'Georgie' "He is my son" So, wasn't that baby chicken someone's child? You can slaughter and eat someone's child for your taste And then you think that you can sleep peacefully at night I am sorry to say...that cortisol in it's blood, cortisol gets released in blood in fear and it's poisonous Cortisol got released in that animal's body That entered into it's fat, into it's muscles If you have eaten it after roasting, frying and adding spices Then won't that increased level of cortisol go into your body? And when the level of cortisol is high in the human body Then that causes high blood pressure and heart problems Because slowly it increases cholesterol Liver function will be reduced LFTs (Liver Function Tests) would be bad Cholesterol would be high And then you would need a doctor who can perform an angiography Who can perform a by-pass surgery, etc. Look, I am not saying that eating meat is a sin It's not about sin or virtue But have some compassion Have little kindness If you have kindness for others then Ishwara will show kindness to you If you have no kindness And after that if ask for kindness, who will show you kindness? You were not kind to these Mute animals Those poor animals can't hold placards and protest on streets That "Don't kill us, don't kill us" A human can protest - "Injustice, Injustice..." And what about the injustice caused to these animals? Your food can be violent Your food can be non-violent Before you get any...what should I say....if you get any weird ideas in your head that even vegetables are alive Then shouldn't we eat vegetables either? No, vegetables have life But vegetables don't have a mind to know that there is life in them Animals have life in them and they also have a mind that knows that 'I am alive' Secondly One who knows that 'I am alive' and wants to live You have no right to snatch it's life And if you snatch someone's right, then remember... Your rights will also be taken away This anxiousness of the mind So, when your mind drowns in too many desires When your mind goes into greed So, greed will eat up the peace of your mind 'I will do this tomorrow, I will do that tomorrow' 'I will see this tomorrow, I will see that tomorrow' 'I will buy this, I will buy that' These desires that arise from your greed These desires give you worries If you don't want to have worries Then stop making future plans for several years to come One person, a young boy was telling me, "My program is completely set" "I will finish my Masters and B.Tech by 28" "Then I will get a job and I will accept a job where I can get at least 1 crore rupees package" "I will definitely go to America" "And from 28 to 55 years I will work" "I will get married at 32 and have two kids by 35" "I will retire at 55" "And then I will take all my savings and come to India" "Because taxes in America are very high, it's not the case here" "So I will come here and live in luxury" "And I will make my relatives jealous and spend my money" I said, "Son, you have planned too far but I have just one simple question" "Do you have a legal document given by God to you that you will be alive up till 55 years of age" Do you have any such document where Ishwara has promised that you will be alive until 55 Post COVID In 20 to 45 years old males and females heart attacks and brain strokes are so rampant "I will do this after 55, I will do this after 60, I will do this after 70..." The question is: What are you doing right now? Right now, by worrying excessively you are secreting those dangerous hormones in your body Because of which you are unable to sleep at night You feel anxious and have a fast heartbeat You feel stressed In order to ignore that fast heartbeat, you take various drugs and alcohol Consume these and become unconscious Someone was telling me, "These days our city has become very developed" I asked, how come? He said, "Many new restaurants and bars are coming up" I said, "All the new bars indicate that people living here have ruined their mental peace" "And even to sleep, they have to consume alcohol" "They are unable to sleep without drinking" "This is not your progress, this is actually a big defeat for which you yourself are responsible" Your progress could have been that There were good schools And please excuse my harsh words again Schools shouldn't be there to make money In fact, schools should have been there to teach from heart, to teach the truth To excessively raise funds using one reason or another They wouldn't be trading kids and their innocence Because there is an interest in learning and teaching, that's why they are teaching I am not saying that the schools should be completely free But have some restraint Have some control over your greed dear And this is an open truth which everyone knows If you want to make a lot of money, then not an industry but open a college, open a coaching center That's where all the money is If you have so much greed and then say that the mind is restless And when you get too anxious, then you will have to use two formulas Either consume alcohol and do drugs And if there is some good intelligence left then you will go to a person like me and ask That "What should I do so that I have stability in my life?" "So that I find peace" A greedy person's mind cannot be peaceful Why does your mind worry? I will give the third reason Your mind is always keeps remembering the past Those days were good Those days were good I was really good then I was very good when I was at home I was very happy in childhood Look at how all poets write poetry on childhood "Where did those beautiful days go? That paper boat and rainfall" How many poems and songs are there on this "I was very happy when I was a child, I was very happy in the village, or somewhere else" Remembering the past, your heart gets filled with grief Grief, sorrow and misery The time that has passed was good The time that hasn't come yet, you are worried about it Due to this, your present gets ruined You spoil your present Because you are worrying about the past And you are hypothetically anxious about your future Where is the peace? It can't be there Now to correct this anxiety, I am giving you one solution And what is that solution? First of all, the life that you are living and the body that you are living it with You are not this body The mind for which you are so anxious You are not this mind either Like we wear shoes on our feet You took them off and came inside Similarly, this mind and this body unit Is nothing more than shoes of my Real Self, the Atman It is separate from me Something that is created by combining other things is for someone Like if we say Ahh...that this flower...does the flower exist for a flower or is it there for a person? Huh? The flower is not for a flower The flower is there so that it can adorn someone's neck To be used in a garlanding a groom or a bride It is there to be offered in a temple, to an idol To be offered on Guru Maharaj's form in a Gurudwara Flower is not for a flower but it is for someone else Like combining flowers of two colors, this garland was made Similarly, by combining five elements this body is created So, this body which is put together is for someone else And that someone is you It's for you But it is not you It is for you! I am not the body, the body is for me That's why while living in this body, you got joined to the body You became attached Then know, it's the nature of this body Sometimes it will get diseased Vata, pitta, kapha will fluctuate and there will be problems in the body If there is too much wind in the body, then joint pains, arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis can happen If there is too much pitta (heat) in the body, then acidity Even heart and brain stoke can happen due to too much pitta according to Ayurveda If there is an excess of both wind and pitta, then the person can also go crazy If there is too much kapha (phlegm), then blockages can happen Whether it is sinus blockages or blockage in arteries Muscular weakness can happen All these happen due to phlegm imbalance Now the body is made of vata, pitta, kapha - these three energies It's working on these three principles Like if there is rain outside, then pitta will increase in the body That's why when there is too much rain, you shouldn't eat fried and roasted foods You must eat light then Eat mung beans, split peas, other lentils and green vegetables If you eat fried food at that time and due to external conditions, there is already excess pitta in the body And on top of that you eat fried food Then you will have stomachache or digestion problems in the body If this indigestion goes on for a long time Ahh...this is called the gut and the brain relationship One brain is here And today science says that a part of your brain is also in your intestines There are small brains here as well They say if there is a problem in this, the body becomes diseased But when there is a problem in this, it also makes the body diseased To maintain it's balance, it's best to have easily digestible food When to eat, when not to eat You must have this knowledge To clarify this topic, I have written a book called 'Basic Principles of Ayurveda' It's available both in Hindi and English Take that book and read it Then you will know what to eat when What should and shouldn't be eaten in which weather Like in winters You must consume desi ghee You must have sweets made of lentils and flaxseed in winter - meaning from December to February But as March comes, stop eating all these heavy things A change occurs so prepare the body for that change Sometimes we create diseases in the body by eating wrong things And then we get depressed that we are always sick - what to do? Self-control, bring self-control in eating What to eat, when to eat, how to eat Let me say how to eat first All the mothers and fathers that are sitting here What do they do when they are trying to feed their kids? Television On Switch on the TV and make the kid sit in front of it..."Look there is a cartoon" And he is eating while watching cartoons There can be nothing worse than this One Do you want to make your kid a cartoon by continuously showing him cartoons? Why do you want to show them cartoons? Why? Secondly, like I said the electromagnetic waves that come from screens - whether it is from a TV or a mobile phone or an iPad These are very harmful for delicate brains of children ADHD or other hyperactive diseases may happen It can cause anxiety Don't show them these They say, "He doesn't eat without it" Come on, he might not eat once or twice but when he is hungry he will definitely eat without a TV Why wouldn't he eat? In front of hunger, you are completely helpless You have to eat when you are hungry While eating, whether it's a child, a young or an old person TV should not be in front of you Make note...just go back 20 or 30 years People used to eat in the kitchen...do you remember or not? Didn't they? They would sit close to their mother or grandmother She would tell stories at the same time and give you freshly made food Now, she cooks and places the food in a hotpot and the mother goes to cinema And tells her son, "Just eat the food in hotpot" Come on...why did you give birth to him if you can't make him sit down and eat She gives money and tells the child to eat from the market What would the child eat? He would eat whatever he likes...he will eat pizza or burger And eating pizzas and burgers, he will become like a burger Right? And when he becomes like a burger, she will say - "You have become so fat, what to do now?!" "OK son, go to the gym" Then you will pay 5000 - 10,000 INR per month for the gym
