Yoga, the inner engineering
The inner mechanism requires understanding nourishment and energy for self-knowledge. Life's symbols contain wisdom. The five bodies constitute our being, from the physical to the causal. Energy is singular but functions diversely, present in food, water, air, and earth. The body possesses an automatic balancing mechanism. Most consume food excessively, confusing the body's energy and causing disease. Eating should be for living, not living for eating. Consuming incompatible items like ice cream after a meal damages the digestive fire. Daily habits disrupt inner functions, glands, and digestion. The energy gained directly from nature—touching the earth, a tree, or sunlight—is immense and pure. Confused energy from unnatural eating alters the mind, feelings, and life. Changing one's entire living system is essential for health and spiritual knowledge. Research your nourishment and eat according to your local environment and season. The inner mechanism must be corrected through yoga, prāṇāyāma, and conscious living.
"We are not eating for living, but we are living for eating."
"The energy which we gain from nature—from the earth, where you touch the earth with your naked foot... you can’t imagine how much energy comes into our body."
