God.... the foody way

உடம்பினை முன்னம் இழுக்கென் றிருந்தேன்

உடம்பினுக் குள்ளே யுறுபொருள் கண்டேன்

உடம்புளே உத்தமன் கோயில்கொண் டான்என்று

உடம்பினை யானிருந் தோம்புகின் றேனே.

- திருமந்திரம் 

Takes me to 

Bhagavan's moment of

Death experience. 

In the process 

Ramana Maharishi asks, 

'Is the body 'I'?'

And 

Answers as well, 

"The body dies. 

But the spirit doesn't. 

It transcends.... 

This means

I'm the 

Deathless Spirit."

கவியரசர் கூறியது

நினைவில் நிழலாடுகிறது. 

" எந்த நிலையிலும் எனக்கு 

மரணமில்லை. "

Well,

Who is there inside you? 

Or

Are you away from God? 

The abode -

That's the body

Is the 

Absolute 

Sanctum -

Where reside

You,

Yes

The God,  சாக்க்ஷாத். 

No need to emphasize 

How well one should care

One's own body. 

For,  the body's 

Purpose is to

Disburse the clouds

And let the

Lord dwelling 

Inside shine forth. 

How would you care the body? 

The food jumps first. 

Can we take any food 

Left,  right and centre? 

Remember 

Your body is 

The Holy kshetra. 

So,  the first No

Is to meat. 

For your body is not the 

Dumping yard

For dead animals. 

Besides,  the pain

That the meaty animal 

Undergoes while slaughter 

Would haunt and add

To doshas. 

Well, 

Your murmuring knocks

My earlobes, 

"can I then take all vegetables?".

The answer is -

In order that 

The food you 

Consume facilitates 

Your Godliness -

There are certain vegetables 

To avoid. 

What are they? 

Heard of Jain food?

They are devoid of 

Onion and 

Garlic. 

These two fall in the tamasic -

Mode of ignorance - category. 

These have an adverse effects 

On our consciousness. 

Clouds our intelligence 

And keeps us

Away

Self-realisation. 

Have more Jain food 

And 

Be Godly.
