Welcome to the podcast, SADGURU of Mystics and mistakes. Sad Guru, as students, what kind of food should we eat?

So what kind of food? We must understand this. Food is not a religion. Food is not a

culture. Food is just the fuel for this machine. Yes? There may be cultural aspects to the tastes. There may be even

religious tinged to the food over a period of time, but essentially food is fuel for this body. So with what kind of food will it

function with minimum struggle within itself and maximum impact.

So suppose you buy a petrol car and pump diesel into it,

it may still roll around but not at its optimum.

Similarly, various foods you can eat and still somehow it functions. But those communities

which have eaten with care, you can clearly see a distinct difference in the way they function, the levels of

intelligence and whatever.

So in India we prescribed food for different people in different way.

If you are doing menial jobs jobs you eat one way because you need

physical muscle. If you are doing other kinds of trading and other kinds of

activities you eat another way. If you are a fighting class you eat differently and now if you are into

education, spiritual process and subtler aspects of life, then you eat differently. If you are in education, one of the greatest challenges is to stay focused on something.

The goddamn textbook that is written is written for an average intelligence. It's a common

prescription. It's not written for the brilliant student. It is written in a way

that it's a common prescription. Everybody gets it. But that

text book, how much effort it is taking for a whole lot of people.

How they have to read it ten times to get it? But you lie down in your bed and read a love story.

You remember every word, yes or no? How come? So you don't lack

memory, you don't lack focus. It is just that textbook and you chemistry is not working.
