Diet & Health: A Daily Diet to Regain Health

Sex and Emotional Balance

Sex indulgence, like alcohol, temporarily gives a false sense of elation, which is inevitably followed by a state of depression, because the cerebrospinal fluidic essence, which is the conductor of the highest Vital Energy in the body, is expended. The presence of this Energy Essence is necessary in every cell of the body, for rebuilding and repair, healing and constant replacement of new cells for old worn out cells. Cellular vigor and function depend on this Primary Life Energy. In fact, over-indulgence through any of the senses leads to mental as well as physical illness, exhaustion and depletion.

Such impulses cannot be conquered permanently by mere suppression but only by supplanting them with desires and impulses of a higher order. As long as unfulfilled desires of any of the five senses are lurking in the mind, there is frustration, and frustration leads to ill health. Emotions are the inner chemistry of life.

The only desire that truly can be fulfilled for all eternity and which has only good consequences, is the longing for conscious union with God, which union is known as "God-Realization." Any effort made in that direction invokes His Grace to enable us to make more effort, until the Goal is reached. This can be achieved only under the guidance - and protection - of a Teacher who has himself travelled the Path.

That is the very purpose for which we have been given this human form. It is the temple of God, made by God Himself, and in which He resides and can be realized. It is up to us to use it as a means to fulfill that purpose. With that object in mind, we should try to keep this body in a fit condition - mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.

Thought and Action

Besides diet, right thinking and right living play an important role in the state of our health. Equilibrium, as balanced energy flow, is the secret of well-being.
