We are eternal consumers. We consume everything. We keep eating all the time. Most of our discussions are about food of some kind, such as food for the stomach, food for our mind, or food for our intellect. We either fill our stomach with a variety of food, or fill our mind with a variety of emotions, or cram our intellect with a variety of information or ideas. Most of these “consumables” end up going to waste, since their quantity is usually greater than our capacity to process them. Overeating leads to various types of illnesses. All of us are “crammers” with respect to one or more of these aspects of our existence. Those who do not have any dependency on any of these three aspects are definitely considered as liberated. Most of the food that the stomach gets to operate on is wasted, or stored as fat for future consumption. Most of the emotions that we carefully, and sometimes even gratefully consume, only tilt the equilibrium of our daily life. We are constantly making webs with our own emotions and we trap ourselves in it. With these emotions, we either get constipated, or we suffer from diarrhea!!!. Most of the food that the intellect consumes is also unused. It is either forgotten or is converted into ego. Furthermore, we live a self-centered existence as far as food is concerned. We are usually in competition with others. We are in a hurry to cram more. We are proud of our capacities. We are proud of our “vault”. :) The choice is indeed yours. Who are you? What is your choice of expression? Is this the life you have been looking for? When you meet your friends or relatives, what do you normally talk about? Is it about the cuisine in various restaurants, tasty food or the best of wines? Is it about the emotions related to soap operas, about the fight that your neighbours are engaging in/enjoying, or is it about the books that you have read recently, the courses that you attended, some intellectual talk or some Guru’s gospel? Ultimately though, only you could see where you stand. You are your own guru. If you know where you stand and what your destination is, then the journey is easy. However, if you think that you don’t know, that you don’t understand, or if you pretend to be someone or something, then you are feeding your own ego and your journey will not be easy. So, you must see where you stand. That is the exact point (only point) from where you can start walking. You cannot walk from a different point, unless someone else carries you there. Then, it is not your free will, anyhow. qawithmohanji.wordpress/2011/02/01/you-are-what-you-eat
