Hungarian soil is good and Hungarian hospitality is famous. About the organic food.
True nourishment is measured by self-awareness, not consumption. We discuss organic food yet cannot verify its purity, as even personal gardens face pollution. True health requires eating according to your body's specific capacity—your intestine and tongue. Overfilling beyond this limit, like overinflating a balloon, causes suffering and weakness. Mastery over your immediate physical conditions is essential; without it, you cannot master anything beyond. Many problems arise from being enslaved by feelings and thoughts. Overeating is an unhealthy life, akin to suicide with utensils. Our issue is not food scarcity but lack of restraint. Experiment by reducing your diet by 50% for one week to observe the effects. Do not associate eating with money, as this leads to unhappiness and poor health. Greed and ignorance, exemplified by clinging to purchased items despite harm, create misery.
"Imagine there is a balloon with a capacity of a quarter liter of air, and now you pump half a liter of air inside. The balloon is suffering."
"So many of our problems come because we are slaves to our particular feelings and thoughts."
