Is it true that “one should eat food as a medicine for hunger, otherwise we owe it to God”?
[Venkayya swamy also said to his devotee that one should eat food as a medicine for hunger, otherwise we owe to God (ఆకలికి మందు లాగా ఆహారం తీసుకోవాలి, లేదా భగవంతునికి అప్పు పడతారు). Please explain to get clarity. Pada namaskaram Swami.]
Swami replied:- One should eat little food because the body and mind need little energy only. Very little food is converted into energy as per the equation of mass-energy equivalence. The rest large lot of matter is becoming excretory product to be rejected and its stay in the body generates almost all diseases. Hence, food must be high in quality and less in quantity. One must eat food, which is well cooked, high in quality and little in quantity (hutabhuk hitabhuk mitabhuk).
Food as medicine
Dedicated to the scholarly study of the bible as text and the discussion thereof
