Foreign [Music] Christian or just um foreign food in India. This is there has been and still is, to some extent, but unfortunately our modern schooling is wiping it out completely. But there is a whole knowledge about at which time of the day what what will go best into your system, which season, in which season what will best integrate into your system like this. There's a whole elaborate cultural aspect.
Eating without necessary sensitivity, neither for the food nor the time. You know, you have no sensitivity; simply you eat something that comes your way. There is a big price to this, attached to this; there's no question. Above all, it is not just about ill health; you lost your Vitality, you lost your sensitivity. That's a huge loss; it's like partial death. You're not able to feel and experience things as sensitively as you did when you are a child or somewhere further up. That means you're half dead. So this partial death will happen to you if you're eating wrong types of food.
If you just become little conscious, simply the Quantum of food that your wheat eating will simply Drop Like That, because you don't need so much food. The more food that you've put into this, the more it has to process to get the same amount of energy; it is taking a toll on the body. Let's look at it this way: 1960s, you had those big Forts and Chevys, you know, massive ones like battleships, all right? How much gas they were drinking, and today the modern Sleek machines, how much they're drinking? Well, now you're going into electric cars, nothing, no sound, no exhaust, no nothing; it's going smooth. So essentially, even with the machines we create, we are looking at fuel efficiency. This also we must look at it, because in this one fuel efficiency or excessive consumption of fuel is not only bad for the economy, for your own personal economy, it is also super bad for the machine, because excessive amount of food it has to handle to get little bits of energy. And especially I see this practice is very prevalent in this part of the world: people eat at seven, eight o'clock or ten o'clock parties and all; they're eating late in the night and then just go to bed, go into bed with a full stomach; it's just a complete no, if you're interested in living well.

There is something called as UPA yoga, that means Sab yoga or useful processes of doing things which has no spiritual Dimension attached to it. If you do upper yoga or angamardhana systems of yoga, Fitness is assured; you will not need any equipment. All you need is six by six floor, and you will be super fit, and you can build your muscle, everything. Only thing is you won't become like this. A whole lot of people have become like this; they think they're fit; I think they're in a straight jacket. It's not just strength; it's not just a bulge of your muscle; the flexibility of your body is as important for proper functioning of the system. In yoga we are not just looking at the muscular strength and other structure alone; the organ health is very important. So the system is evolved so that there is organ health; it's very important the body is flexible and usable. [Music]
Fitness and well-being does not mean walking on a treadmill, having bulging muscles like that, no. To strengthen the Integrity of the elements in our system, it's very important. So is there some way to do it? Yes, there are specific methods with which we can do. One simple way right now is work with the earth and water and plants and stay Outdoors; that itself will do something. But in yoga there are specific methods; in fact, most of the yoga is just that, Buddha, to cleanse the elements. So [Music] without bringing a sin integrity to the composition of elements in the system, however strong you may think you are in terms of life, you are not strong. You may be having muscular strength; that will not sustain you through certain aspects of life; you will see, not always, but you will see somebody who's very seems to be very muscular and very strong physically, just one little ailment, they'll go down like two days of fever, they will just go flat down. Somebody else who doesn't seem to be all that strong, who looks squawny, you see he can take any amount of beating. This depends on the elemental Integrity within the system; how well integrated are you elements accordingly. And the elemental Integrity also determines in how many ways you can use the body. If you don't have elemental integrity and if you use your body Beyond certain limitations—when I say limitations I'm not talking about physical limitations—if you use your body in other ways other than being physical, it will just crack up. And that's why the yoga sadness starts with; all aspects of yoga are essentially being manifested in so many different ways.
Can we do something specific right now without your gig guidance? Simple thing is work in the garden, walk at least at least an hour or two a day, especially before you go for dinner or for lunch, especially before that, at least for a half an hour walk without Footwear, not on this granite either, in the grass or in the mud outside. You will see body being in touch with the earth. When you eat the food that you eat, the way it integrates, it is very different; digestible anyway happen, but how much you can integrate into the system depends on how much you're in tune with Earth. So even half an hour if you walk without users Footwear and the body remains in touch with the Earth, you will see the elements will function with little more Integrity than the way it is right now. So a certain amount of being in the outdoor, being with the sun, Being With the Wind, being with the rain, being with the Earth is very important, because that is what you are; you are a product of that; you are a manifestation of that. [Music] Thank you. [Music]
