Our conduct must be such that no one is made to get angry and does not cause harm to individuals, families, communities or society. This is loving one another with unconditional love.
It exists, according to the attributes and modes of influence of material nature; virtue, passion and ignorance, different ways of eating.
The only functions of food are to increase longevity, to purify the mind, and to give the body health and vigor.
Human being nourishes himself in a particular way, according to the influence of the attributes of the material nature, which he undergoes.
The Lord said on this subject:
The foods dear to each one are divided into three orders, which correspond to the three gunas [to the three attributes and modes of influence of material nature; virtue, passion and ignorance]. I will teach you what sets them apart.
The foods of virtue purify existence and prolong its duration. They provide strength, health, joy and satisfaction. These substantial foods are sweet, juicy, fatty and full of flavor.
Foods that are too bitter, sour, salty, pungent, dry or hot, are loved by those dominated by passion. They engender suffering, misfortune and disease.
And dear to men enveloped by ignorance, food cooked more than three hours before being consumed. Foods deprived of taste, freshness, smelly, decomposed or unclean, even leftovers.
Krishna, God, the Supreme Person cannot be seen by everyone
Truly, it is by his power internal that Krishna remains veiled, and cannot be seen by everyone. Only the soul to whom He reveals Himself can see him and thus contemplate his magnificent form. Only the soul submitted to God can truly know the Absolute Truth.
The secret of secrets is that which consists in surrendering oneself to Krishna, and serving him with love and devotion. For spiritualists constantly engaged in Krishna consciousness, in devotional service to the Lord, their spiritual eyes open, and Krishna reveals himself to them.
Such revelation is not even accessible to heavenly beings, to the inhabitants of the paradisiacal planets, who find it difficult to know Krishna. The most evolved among them still aspire to see Him in his sublime, original, personal form, the most beautiful of all, his two-armed form, all of knowledge, bliss and eternity.
