Few things I have heard lately about food:
- When my mom used to cook everyone was very peaceful in the family. Now, it’s made by the cook. Somehow, people have become more aggressive.
- I do not know why so many fights happen after lunch in my family.
- Why the food cooked by mom is always tastier?
- Since the time this new cook has joined in everyone looks depressed in the family.
Many more like this.
When I was small, I heard a story. There was a village where no one ever fell sick. people used to come to check, what different they are doing. So finally, one informant reached to the place from where everyone was buying their flour. The lady was milling the wheat and making flour. When he sat nearby her, he heard her humming. Then he noticed that she was smiling and singing. She was singing devotional songs all the time. He started talking to her once she was finished. With every hand movement, he realized she was praying that everyone shall be happy and healthy. Her intentions were very divine and pure. She was praying for everyone while making flour. He realized that this was keeping the whole village happy and healthy.
The answer to the above questions:
- When my mom used to cook- Because she wanted everyone to be happy and she was also praying for everyone. She was also singing devotional songs. But when the cook joined in, she was taking it as a job and also, she was always wondering about her children. She shared later on that she always thought that her kids could never have such abundant food. So was not peaceful while cooking, so no one received peace from her.
- There were relationship problems in this family. The lady did not like cooking and when she cooked, she cursed her life and the home. The husband received the same energy from her. So after lunch, there were fights.
- Food cooked by mom is tastier- Because she is cooking with the intention that my children should love this food and how happy they would be after eating this.
- Everyone is depressed- Her husband had died lately and she was left to raise 5 kids. She was always depressed and angry. Everyone was becoming the same.
“Jaisa khaaoge ann, waist hoga Mann”
We have heard of this since childhood. So cook your food with love and divine surrender and you will see the change in the family environment. More love you would add to the food, better everyone would be.
