Chapter 76 Higher Law - 3

It is difficult to prepare and cook a diet so simple and clean that it does not offend your imagination; I think that as much as the body needs nourishment, so does the imagination, and that both should be satisfied at the same time. Maybe it can be done.A little fruit in moderation, without being ashamed of the stomach, never hinders our most worthy causes.But if you add a little seasoning to the plate, it will poison you.It's not worth living on the delicacy of shame.There are many people who would feel ashamed if they see that they are cooking a delicious meal, no matter whether it is meat or vegetarian, but in fact, there are people who cook such delicious food for them every day.If this situation does not change, we will have no civilization at all, and even gentlemen and ladies will not be real men and women.That aspect certainly provided an indication of how that should change.Don't ask why imagination doesn't like meat and fat.Knowing that it doesn't like it is enough.Is it not a reproach to say that man is a carnivore?Yes, the sacrifice of other animals may, to a great extent, keep him alive, and in fact did; The people of the lamb know that - if anyone can educate mankind to eat only more sinless and more nutritious food, then he is a benefactor of mankind.Whatever the results of my own practice, I have no doubt that it is part of the destiny of man, that his development must gradually progress until the habit of eating meat is eliminated, as it must be, as is the case with the savages and the more civilized After getting in touch with more, it is the same as getting rid of the habit of cannibalism.

If a man heeds the weakest, yet most enduring suggestion of his nature--which is, of course, the right--then he does not know to what extremes it will lead him, and may even lead him. to madness; but when he grows more resolute and more confident, there is a right way ahead for him.The faintest affirmative objection in a healthy mind overcomes all eloquence and custom.Man seldom listens to his own nature, but only when it leads him astray.Physical decay was the inevitable result, but perhaps no one regretted it.Because these lives follow a higher law.If day and night have greeted you with cheer, and life has fragrance as fresh as flowers and sweet-scented herbs, and is more elastic, more starry, more immortal,—that is your success.All nature celebrates you, and you have reason to bless yourself for the time being.The greatest benefits and values ​​are often underappreciated.It's easy to wonder if they exist.We quickly forget about them.They are the highest reality.Perhaps the most astonishing and truest facts are never communicated from person to person.The most real harvest of my daily life is as unpredictable and unspeakable as the dawn and dusk.All I got was a speck of dust, and all I caught was a rainbow.

I am by no means demanding, however; a fried mouse, if I must, I can eat with relish.I have been drinking only plain water for so long for the same reason that I prefer the sky of nature to the smoke of opium smokers.I delight in sobriety often, and the degree of intoxication is infinite.I believe that the only drink for a wise man is plain water. Alcohol is not such a noble liquid. Just imagine that a cup of hot coffee is enough to destroy the hope of the morning, and a cup of hot tea can destroy the dream of the night!Oh, how I have fallen after being seduced by them!Even music can be intoxicating.It is these small causes that destroyed Greece and Rome, and will destroy England and America in the future.Of all intoxicating things, who would not be intoxicated by breathing fresh air?My objection to long hours of hard labor is that it forces me to eat and drink like hell.But to be honest, I don't seem to be so picky in these respects these days.I seldom bring religion to the table, and I do not seek blessings, not because I have grown wiser, and I cannot help confessing it, but because, regrettably, I have grown coarser every year, more Indifferent.Maybe these are issues that only young people care about as much as they care about poetry. My practice can't be seen "nowhere", but my opinion is written here.However, I don't think I'm the kind of privileged class mentioned in the Vedic scriptures, which said: "He who has great faith in the ruler of all things can eat everything that exists," which means that he can eat without asking. What, who prepared it for him, and yet, even in their case, it must be mentioned that, as an Indian commentator has said, the Vedic scriptures limit this privilege to "times of affliction" inner.
