Cooking A Meal – Subtle Energies At Work (Part 3)

The low subtle energy of certain tamsic foods is an obstacle in the purification of the soul, which is our life objective and they also affect the body negatively on an energy level. So consumption of such foods should be avoided. This is because these foods cause the minds to become agitated and aggressive and even bring the mind under the influence of other negative emotions like lust, greed, attachment, ego, jealousy and hatred. You might say why not purify these foods by meditation and then consume them. But giving these foods pure spiritual energy does not transform their inherent tamsic nature so that they don’t have a negative effect on the mind and the body on an energy level.

Also, along with being selective about your meal menu ingredients and using the right recipes, it’s important to maintain a higher spiritual consciousness while cooking and eating meals. This can be done by mothers by creating positive and peaceful thoughts or by playing a few peaceful songs or even playing soothing meditation tunes while cooking and eating food. This will remind everyone of their connection with God and pure love for their family members. Food should not be eaten while watching television, while reading the newspaper or while using the mobile phone. Also, before consuming any food item or even water, spend a few seconds in creating a powerful thought of spiritual self-respect and focus your vision or drishti on the item. In this way, the food or liquid item will be charged with positive spiritual energy through your eyes and its negative nature, both on a physical as well as spiritual level, will be destroyed. Remember you are what you eat. Your thoughts are a direct reflection of the kind of energy filled food you eat.

Message for the day 27-02-2018
-----------------------------------------

Humility enables one to serve others.

Expression:The one who is humble is the one who is complete and full. So just like a tree which is laden with fruit, bowing down and offering all it has humbly, the one who is full is ready for service. He is available for others to take benefit from whatever resources are there with him. This humility earns respect from others and gives happiness to all.

Experience: When I am able to bow down with the awareness of what I have, I am fully in the stage of my self-respect. the more I am able to bow, the more others also bow down with regard to me and respect my fortune. This enables me to be a giver to those around me and experience contentment - constantly.


In Spiritual Service,
Brahma Kumaris
