MIND : ITS MYSTERIES AND CONTROL :4. (b).1.

-





(b). QUALITY OF MIND DEPENDS UPON QUALITY OF FOOD-1.


Food has a direct and intimate connection with the mind and plays a vital part in the make-up of the mind.

Sattvic diet calms the mind.

Rajasic diet excites the mind.

Mark the difference in nature between a tiger which lives on flesh and a cow which lives on grass.

Food exercises important influence on the mind.

You see it clearly every day.

It is very difficult to control the mind after a heavy, sumptuous, indigestible, rice meal.

The mind runs, wanders and jumps like a monkey all the time.

Alcohol causes tremendous excitement in the mind.



Swami Sivananda

======================================================================================================== Thursday 11, June 2026, 08:50. /  Articles Philosophy Humanity as Yajna or Sacrifice for Perfection -3. Swami Krishnananda. ================================================================================================= Satyameva jayate, is a great motto with which you are all familiar. And what is this Satyam, the Truth? Satyatvam badha rahityam said a great master. That which is 'uncontradictable', is the Truth, and if 'Truth alone triumphs', it is another way of saying that the 'Uncontradictable' alone triumphs. My dear friends, can I put you a question? Have you seen anything in this world which is uncontradictable? Everything is contradicted by everything else. There is supersession of values. Everything is transcended by something else. There is nothing in this world which cannot be negated by a subsequent occurrence or historical procession. It is be...

=========================================================================================== 1.#Opinion: Saturday 04, April 2025, 05:50. /  Articles Philosophy Humanity as Yajna or Sacrifice for Perfection -2. Swami Krishnananda. ====================================================================================== We have in one grand hymn of the Vedas, a point given to us, enabling us to contemplate in the right direction. The ancient seers of the Vedas, in their grand contemplation of the cosmos as a unitary structure, visualised the human being as an inseparable part of the cosmos.

We have a duty towards the world, towards the universe, in its entirety. This obligation that we are expected to perform in respect of the world o...
