DIETARY STYLE

I see that there is an imbalance in much of the American diet. Even with the popularization of yoga, the diet of Yogic practitioners is of no exception. Health is often fanatically worshiped, and as a result, people are thrown into confusion by the excess of faddish information and products. Do not be concerned with what you wear or what you eat—this is the Truth. However, it's not until one fully realizes that Man does not live on bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from God that one can understand this Truth.

The Eastern spiritual diet, which has been cultivated over a long period of time, has the quest for Truth as its priority in order to provide balance of the mind and the body. When one's practice deepens, and when one is steadfast in thought, word, and deed, realizing even a portion of the Truth, it really does not matter what one wears or eats. At this point, one is no longer affected by anything. Until then, bear in mind the proper diet, as well as the right teachings of the Truth.
