Appreciate fully what you are eating, enjoy it fully, breathing and smelling the aroma to add to the taste, chewing slowly and well, to taste more and to digest better. Discover the subtleties of taste. Gently keep bringing the wandering mind back to tasting fully what you’re eating. Feel the difference! Give thanks for the chance to be able to enjoy what you eat.
Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile, dwelling in the present moment, I know this is the only moment.
Now you worship His Form, you repeat His name; ignoring His orders. Without practicing the discipline laid down by Rama to purify the mind, all else is mere show, empty rituals.
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Slowly and steadily cleanse the mind; sharpen the intellect, purify the senses, and win grace.
Once we surrender our mind to Divine Grace completely, we will be taken care of in every way.
Let your aims be common, and your hearts of one accord, and all of you be of one mind, so you may live well together.
Don’t let your mind bully your body into believing it must carry the burden of its worries.
