Commandment 8
“Be happy to eat in constant divine thought whatever you get, with due regard to honest and pious earnings.”
Sayings of Pujya Babuji Maharaj:
• Happiest man is he, who is happy under all circumstances, and that is the part of a saint. (SDG 38)
• It is a hidden dictum of Nature that every soul must live a happy and restful life. (SDG 37)
• A happy disposition is a state which percolates its effect upon the lower layers and purifies them. (BWS 162)
• While taking food we fix our thought upon the Ultimate which we have finally to attain, in order to take in its effect too, and increase our purity all the more (BWS 163)
• Our rules provide for taking food in the remembrance of God. (BWS 163)
• The thing got from Nature is very pure because its basis is purity. The thing earned by man can also remain in a pure state when that is got through pure and pious means. (BWS 164)
• If it(Food)is taken meditating all the while on God it will cure all kinds of spiritual diseases and remove things which hinder our progress. (BWS 97)
