Then, the question arises as to what all could be the basis for the mind. First of all, the food we eat. As is the food, so are the thoughts. As are the thoughts, so is the mind. Hence, first and foremost, we must provide satvika food to our body. Satvika does not mean simply eating fruits, milk and curd etc. In fact, the human body takes ‘food’ through all the five senses. But, people generally think that they are taking food only through one of the five senses, namely the tongue. This is a mistake. The eyes, ears, nose, tongue and the skin are the five senses through which we feed our body. Therefore, all the food we take through these five senses must be satvika. It means that the eyes must have sacred and divine vision. The ears must listen to sacred words. The nose must smell divine fragrance. The skin shall experience divine touch. Thus, all the five senses must be purified by consuming satvika food. It is only to stress this point very often, I exhort you to keep yourself away from committing the (the five evils committed by the eyes, ears, tongue, hands and the mind). They are the (seeing bad things), (hearing bad things), (talking bad words), (bad deeds) and (entertaining bad thoughts). If you can achieve this, you will yourself become God.
