Food to a large extent is what holds a society together and eating is closely linked to deep spiritual experiences.
Life has been compared with a battle and rightly so, as each day comes up with a new set of challenges which we must meet. One cannot just shy away from problems if he has to survive. He has to meet to challenges with courage.
For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time. He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain.
If we sincerely want to become a liberated person, then we have to be willing to be independent in a world where so few truly think for themselves.
Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving, make every day a holiday and celebrate just living!
