Self-realization, spirituality…etc : It turns out to be a finer form of delusion when you escape from your bodily duties during your embodied existence.
By torturing your body, you unknowingly add karmic debts on your account.
Your response to environment (Universe minus you), reflects group-intelligence of billions of body cells. Group-intelligence is sum resultant of individual atom contributing to your existence plus you. You, your mind, has veto power gifted and so despite this super genius group-intelligence, you, mindlessly, work to indulge in your selfish pleasure pursuits.
You, being lazy, selfish, indulged in pleasure, torture these tiny lives like merciless dictator, force them to work 24×7, starve them; and you expect healthy state of living?
That is too much to ask for!!
Stop this slavery first! Sense this group-intelligence! Appreciate and worship them! Worship your body! Nourish them with top-quality food and thoughts! Act considering their safety of their lives! Forget about God-realization, be a real man and take care of God’s wonderful creation first!
Why nourish Devas(Leaders of Cell-intelligence) in the body?
इष्टान्भोगान्हि वो देवा दास्यन्ते यज्ञभाविताः।
तैर्दत्तानप्रदायैभ्यो यो भुङक्ते स्तेन एव सः।।3.12।।
The devas, gratified with necessary action will grant you the things sacrificed. Hence whosoever enjoys their gifts without offering them to these devas-he is surely a thief.
If you don’t take care of your body, you are THIEF.
