TAKE PURE FOOD

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on August 3, 2012 at 7:00pm
If you take pure food, you will have a pure mind. Mind is formed of the subtlest essence of food. If you have purity of mind, you will remember God. If you always remember God, the three knots of the heart-desire, ignorance and action-will be rent asunder. You will be free.
"A man should uplift himself by his own self; so let him not weaken this self; for this self is the friend of oneself and is also the enemy of oneself." Thus says the Gita.

From "Daily Sayings" by Swami Sivananda (1987-1963). More Informations on Swami Sivananda: on the Website of Divine Life Society, Photographs of Swami Sivananda, German Pages on Swami Sivananda

    Namaste Swami Jee,

    Thank u. I think this quotation would bring a full stop on the arguments whether to be vegetarian is necessary for a person practicing Yoga.
