I find that all those meats they have given me to build me up make me heavy, especially with the hot days starting again. Couldnt I go back to vegetarian food?
It doesnt really have an action on the consciousness, I am absolutely certain of that. Meat can give the body a feeling of great solidity, but in my opinion, solidity is most important, most important I dont believe in a spirituality that etherealizes, thats the old falsehood of the past.
No, the bodys heaviness You must not only conceive but understand and accept that the purpose of this heaviness is to repair the bodys internal damage, and the body must in fact change this heaviness into a sort of constant tranquillity so that order is restored everywhere.
I dont believe that the impression of being light is a good impression. Because both the so-called lightness and the so-called heaviness have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the yoga and the Transformation. All those are human sensations. The truth is quite different from and quite independent of those things. The truth, of course, is the cells conscious aspiration to the Supreme; it is the only thing that can actually transform the body; and it is very, very independent of the domain of sensations.
On the contrary, its good for the nerves to calm down, and I think that when the nerves streng then, their first movement is to calm down, and that gives the impression of a heaviness, almost the impression of a tamas, but its a sort of quiet stability, which is necessary. There. Thats how I see it.
Basically, in order to cure the misdeeds of that physical mind, its not bad to become we could say in jest, vegetarian in the sense of becoming a plant the peaceful life of a plant, like that (gesture, stretched out in the sun).
Yes, there is a kind of vegetative immobility which is excellent for overcoming the agitation the frantic agitationof that physical mind. Oh, look, its the sensation of a waterlily floating on water: those large leaves spreading out like thata very quiet, still water, and a waterlily.
The waterlily is the white flower opening up to the light, above those large, floating leaves. Oh, how good it is to be carried.
When the nerves have really calmed down because one has eaten well, one can go into a blissful contemplationdont be occupied with anything, above all dont try to think: like this (gesture of floating, offered), invoking the Lord and his Harmonya luminous harmony and then lying like that at least half an hour, three quarters of an hour after the meal. Its very good, its excellent. Dont fall asleep: blissfulnothing, being nothing. Nothing but a blissful tranquillity. Thats the best remedy.
I think thats easier after eating well!
Try to be a waterlily. A waterlily, thats pretty!
Even watching animals is very pretty they know far better than men how to rest.
We could make a slogan: if you want to keep well, be a waterlily! (Mother laughs) I see the picture of a pond in the sun.
In reality, I deserve some credit for asking people to eat well. You know that I had difficulties: for two days, it was nearly impossible for me to eatand I am so glad! But I always scold myself: its a weaknessa moral weakness. I am in a very good position to say so, because I have the same difficulty as you with those questions of food, and thats very bad. Its not out of personal taste for food that I am preaching (!), but in order to react against the other tendency. Every time something comes and prevents me from eating, immediately, spontaneously, the body says, Oh, thank you, Lord, I dont have to eat! I catch myself and give myself a slap.
