Nowadays, we talk about organic food, but we do not know if something labeled "organic" is truly organic. To be sure, you should have your own garden. But even then, the water comes from other fields and pollutes your soil too. Still, we know that we should eat healthily. You should decide the quantity according to your health condition and the capacity of your intestine—according to the capacity of your tongue. 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. It will begin to become weaker and may burst. So if the capacity is a quarter liter, then we should pump only 200 grams of air inside. It would be only 100 grams. It means 100 grams is for the food, 100 for the water or liquid, and 50 for empty space, for tolerance and movement. Like in a mechanism, we have a space for tolerance. Then, you can't be sure that within some limits you will be healthy. So many of our problems come because we are slaves to our particular feelings and thoughts. Now, if you have no mastery over these physical conditions, if you are not the master of all the things which surround you, how are you going to master something far away? So, a good life means not only eating and drinking as much as you like. This is the way of an unhealthy life. It's called suicide with a knife and fork. And how many of you are committing this suicide? So this is our big problem. What to do? And for that, we have one big time to overthink. It's not that we don't have enough food. Hungary is a beautiful country, a rich country, with good soil, good agriculture, good crops. Hungarians are very good people, very good hosts, but it's your life, so try to reduce your diet by 50% this one week, and let's see what happens. You don't have to work very hard; everything is prepared and cooked for you. Everything is clean for you; the food is ready. Please come and eat, and you just leave your plate; they will clean everything. That's a good life you have. Try to be aware of your time, your time being here. So, it is not that if you eat half a portion now, it means we have to pay less money, and if you eat double, it means we have to pay more money. Who thinks about money in connection with eating? That person will never be happy and never be healthy. There was one greedy man sitting on a train, and at the railway station platform, people were selling something to eat. So he bought one glass of hot milk. And so he was drinking his milk, which was very hot, and he drank only a quarter glass when the train began to move. The person who was selling the milk said, "Give my glass back, please." Now that man said, "Well, I paid money for the milk. I can give the glass back, but not the milk." And he tried to drink it all quickly. And in a few minutes, he was finished, dead. So that was because of the money. He said, "I paid the money. I will not give my milk back," or he spoiled the milk. It was very hot and a little unpleasant, but he drank it. So this is what makes us unhappy, and this is a sign of ignorance. Recording location: Hungary, Vep, Summer seminar
