and traditional homes you know; in no traditional home they eat food without offering it to God. Without naivedyam they will never do; they will not take it. Today we have no time to think like that. I was telling you in the case of marriage, so is the position even at home and fast food centres have become so very common today you really don't cook at all at home, so there is no question of somebody cooking and somebody eating. We eat something in between but whatever it is, whatever we eat at least my appeal would be at least think that this is what God has given you for that day and then be happy to eat it because most of us while eating go on shouting at the other person talking some nonsense etc., this you should avoid. At least at that time you can think about God and then simply eat, enjoy your eating atleast, if nothing else whatever little we have. SriRamchandraji Maharaj tries to bring in another concept here. He says that every second some cells are dying some new cells are being born and so when the new cells are having this type of power to support, the divine power to support, you become more and more satvik and you become more and more divine. This is one more concept of SriRamchandraji Maharaj which he brings in here and then explains. I think it is something that is everybody, every person, irrespective of whether he follows Ramchandra he does not follow Sri Ramchandra, he can easily practice this. This is one thing that we can always practice without any difficulty, nothing very difficult about it to follow and it does good. At least it makes you digest your food well, minimum health requirement is satisfied. Second thing that I personally found is it definitely transforms your thinking, you start thinking differently. These changes come to you over a period of time, nothing comes overnight. Today I have taken like this, tomorrow morning I will test, you will not be in a position to test like that. Over a period of time you will succeed in this.
Among the last commandments you have got, what is the purpose of life. All these things we should do why? We mould ourselves not to become pious ourselves, that any way we have to, but others may develop piety and love. You become example for others, for simplicity, for naturalness, for goodness, for help, for being a brother, all these things become possible for you to tell the other man without opening your mouth. You will be in a position to influence them with your behaviour. He is a different person - is one particular goal that we can definitely keep for ourselves and then live upto it. Mould yourself in such a way as to develop love
