The Human Body — A Complex Instrument

We are complex beings: physical, energetic, mental, and spiritual. Our biology came to exist in a world of varied climates, terrains, and natural resources. Historically, human beings — across continents — have eaten what was available: grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes and meat or fish. Our digestive system, our metabolism, and even our nutritional needs evolved with this varied diet.

In modern times, it’s tempting to search for a universal “ideal diet.” But when we look at human history — and at traditional holistic systems — a different picture emerges: diversity in diet, adapted to climate, activity level, body type, and need.

That’s why non-vegetarian food continues to remain “right” for many bodies: it is dense, nourishing, often very bio-available (i.e. nutrients that are easily absorbed), and — when used consciously — can support robust health, stamina, muscle and bone strength, recovery, mental clarity, and even spiritual vitality for some.

🕉️ Spiritual Traditions & Philosophical Acceptance of Meat

There is a common assumption that spirituality and meat-eating are incompatible. But in truth — especially in ancient and classical Indian spiritual traditions — it has not always been so black and white. Many realized spiritual masters, and many scriptures, recognized that food choice must be aligned with individual constitution, duty (dharma), environment, and need.

Swami Vivekananda — A Real Example

Despite the widespread association of spirituality with vegetarianism, Vivekananda himself did not insist upon strict vegetarianism for everyone. In fact, historical accounts suggest that he consumed meat (fish or mutton) at times. (The Times of India)
He argued that vegetarianism might be fine for those not engaged in strenuous physical labor — but for many, especially working people requiring physical strength and stamina, meat-eating provided the nourishment required for “active life.” (vivekananda.net)
As he reportedly said: if plant-based food cannot adequately sustain the human system, meat-eating might be a necessary alternative. (vivekananda.net)

Such acceptance shows that even a major spiritual figure understood diet pragmatically: the body has needs. Spirituality does not have to come at the cost of bodily health.

✅ What we know from Vivekananda’s works and records about non-veg

According to his writings, Vivekananda accepted that there are circumstances where eating meat might be necessary. In one of the sources summarizing his letters: he said —

“I myself may not be a very strict vegetarian, but I understand the ideal. When I eat meat I know it is wrong. Even if I am bound to eat it under certain circumstances, I know it is cruel.” (spiritualbee.com)

This suggests that while he recognised a vegetarian “ideal,” he did not dogmatically enforce it — especially in circumstances where perhaps vegetarian nourishment was insufficient or unavailable.

In conversations with disciples, he reportedly said that people — especially from regions like East Bengal — who ate a lot of fish and meat were “much healthier,” compared to those subsisting only on vegetables. Therefore, he concluded that abandoning meat/fish for the sake of religion might not always be wise or healthy. (The News Minute)
In his letters and writings, Vivekananda admitted that he preferred vegetarian food when available: for instance, he wrote: “Well, I am a vegetarian … because I prefer it when I can get it.” (spiritualbee.com)
Some biographies and historical accounts (reflected in articles) mention that Vivekananda consumed fish and mutton. (The Times of India)
There’s a widely quoted — sometimes controversial — account from an observer at the time (Rev. Dr. John Henry Barrows) saying that after the first session of the World Parliament of Religions in 1893, he took Vivekananda to a restaurant, and Vivekananda asked for “beef.” (VivekaVani)
- (Important caveat: this is an external account, not a writing of Vivekananda himself — so many scholars caution about using it authoritatively.) (VivekaVani)
In a lecture from 1896 (reported by some sources), Vivekananda reportedly addressed the issue of meat-eating vs vegetarianism, referencing that Vedantic philosophy sees all beings as manifestations of the same universal consciousness — which brings ethical complexity, but he also argued that certain rigid prohibition of meat may not be justifiable. (guidingthoughts.blogspot.com)
According to an analysis: “He believed animal-protein gave more strength and energy.” As per the book “The Monk as Man” by the biographer Sankar. (ThePrint)

⚠️ What Vivekananda’s stance was not — or is ambiguous / contradictory

Though he didn’t insist on vegetarianism for everyone, he did call vegetarianism “the ideal.” (spiritualbee.com)
When he was forced to eat meat (say, due to lack of choice), he acknowledged that it was “wrong” — meaning he recognized the moral/cosmic weight of taking life, even if he felt compelled by practical needs. (Hinduism Stack Exchange)
He seems to caution against making diet a matter of blind religious dogma — especially in a collective sense where people judge or impose their food choices on others. (Hinduism Stack Exchange)
At the same time, he recognised that for many hard-working people, especially labourers, vegetarian diet may not provide adequate nourishment — and in those contexts meat was a practical necessity. (spiritualbee.com)

📚 Representative Quotes & Writings / Contexts

Here are some of Vivekananda’s observed or documented statements:

Statement / Context	Meaning / Relevance
“I myself may not be a very strict vegetarian, but I understand the ideal. … If I eat meat under certain circumstances, I know it is cruel.” (spiritualbee.com)	Accepts vegetarianism as ideal; but acknowledges life’s complexities and practical needs.
In conversation: “Eat large quantities of fish and meat … The country has been flooded with dyspeptic Babajis living on vegetables only… Yes, take as much of that as you can, without fearing criticism.” (The News Minute)	Critique of hypocrisy, and support for non-veg where physical strength/health demanded.
Votes for meat-eating for hard work / manual labourers, rejecting imposition of vegetarianism on them. (VivekaVani)	A practical social view linking nourishment to livelihood, not moral judgement.
Belief that forcing vegetarianism on all, especially poor labouring masses, could do more harm — “No amount of eating grass brings any good.” (ThePrint)	Recognizing that one diet doesn’t fit all; importance of context and need.

🔄 What This Means for the Larger Debate (Especially for Spiritual / Holistic Practitioners like You)

For someone like you — working in spiritual coaching, tarot, energy, and healing — Vivekananda’s stance can serve as a balanced precedent:

He did not preach rigid dogma: he recognized context, body needs, environment, and social reality.
He upheld an ideal (vegetarianism, non-violence, sattva) — yet he didn’t demonize those who diverged due to necessity or constitution.
He accepted that physical strength, health, and nourishment are valid spiritual needs — and if non-veg supports that for some, it’s not automatically “impure.”
Importantly: he urged consciousness, sincerity, honesty — not hypocrisy. If one eats meat, one must accept the moral weight; but blind judgment on others isn’t right.

This resonates strongly with a modern holistic-spiritual approach: listen to one’s body, honour one’s needs, and choose consciously — rather than bind the soul to rigid food-moralism.

⚠️ Why “Vivekananda supported non-veg” Is Sometimes Misused — and Must Be Handled With Care

Some stories (like beef-eating in the U.S.) come not from Vivekananda’s own writings, but from external observers (e.g. Barrows) — these are historically debated and sometimes considered unreliable. (VivekaVani)
Translation, editing, reinterpretation can distort subtle philosophical positions. Sometimes what is quoted as Vivekananda’s “support” is an interpretation by later writers.
His stance appears to shift — sometimes accepting vegetarianism as ideal, sometimes accepting meat out of necessity. That means it’s not a blanket “pro-meat” endorsement, but a contextual, fluid view.

So reference to Vivekananda should always include context: what he said, when, why — not as absolute doctrine.

🎯 How This Aligns with Your Spiritual Perspective (And What to Use — and How)

Since your spiritual-tarot coaching brand values intuition, body awareness, individual journey — here’s how you could use these references:

Show that great spiritual masters themselves honored complexity: diet, body needs, and spirituality need not be rigidly separated.
Encourage your students/clients to listen to their own constitution (body, energy, environment) rather than follow blanket “shoulds.”
Use Vivekananda’s example to argue for conscious, respectful eating — whether vegetarian or non-veg — rather than moral guilt or external judgment.
Teach food as part of holistic energy hygiene: what nourishes one may not nourish another; honour diversity.

Ancient Tradition & Holistic Healing: Ayurveda & Traditional Indian Texts

Ayurveda — one of the world’s oldest holistic health systems — does not categorically prohibit meat. Instead, it treats all food as medicine: plant-based or animal-based, depending on what the individual needs. (Easy Ayurveda Hospital)
In certain conditions — such as convalescence, debility, recovery from illness or physical exertion — meat or meat-based preparations (like meat soups) are prescribed because they provide strength, nourishment, and restore balance. (Wikipedia)
Traditional Ayurvedic texts speak of balancing one’s constitution (doshas: Vata, Pitta, Kapha), metabolic fire (agni), immunity, and overall vitality through the right kind of nourishment. For many constitutions or life conditions, that might include meat/fish — especially where bio-available proteins, saturated fats, certain minerals are beneficial. (Wikipedia)
Importantly: Ayurveda (and some ancient scriptures) recognized that food affects mind, mood, energy, and consciousness. So the right food is whichever supports the person’s body–mind–spirit in balance. (The Unknown Srivaishnava)

Thus, in traditional Indian spiritual and healing traditions, meat was not always rejected as sinful or taboo. Instead, dietary choice was contextual, individualized, and conscious.

⚠️ Why Some Spiritual Traditions Favor Vegetarianism — And Why That’s Not Universal

It’s also true: many spiritual traditions — including parts of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism — emphasize non-violence (ahimsa), compassion, purity, and sattva (peace, lightness) in diet. From that lens, vegetarianism (or even veganism) is often considered an ideal diet: light, non-violent, conducive to calmness, clarity, and stable energy. (Wikipedia)

But even within these traditions, there’s recognition: not everyone has the same body, environment, activity level or energy needs. A heavily physical laborer might need more protein and strength-building foods than someone who meditates all day in calm. A body weakened by illness might heal better with meat-based nourishment. A rapidly growing child or someone recovering from trauma might need nutrient-dense foods. This is why even ancient healers did not apply a “one-diet-fits-all” approach. (Easy Ayurveda Hospital)

In spiritual practice, when diet becomes rigid dogma rather than conscious choice, it can create guilt, imbalance, disconnection. For some, forcing a vegetarian diet when the body needs strength and nourishment can lead to weakness — physically, mentally, even spiritually.

Hence — this blog’s core stand: no one type of food choice is good for everyone. The right choice depends on the body, environment, activity, life circumstances, and inner calling.

🧠 Why Non-Vegetarian Food Makes Sense for Many Bodies

Here are some of the main reasons non-vegetarian food may be “right” for many — not because it’s inherently superior, but because our bodies sometimes ask for it:

1. Dense Nutrition & Bio-Availability

Meat/fish contain complete proteins, essential amino acids, fats, B-vitamins, iron, zinc, and other micronutrients that are often more readily absorbed than their plant-based counterparts.
For growing bodies, people with constant physical work, or those recovering from illness — meat can provide strong nourishment, strength, stamina.

2. Adaptability to Climate, Environment & Workload

In many climates (hot, cold, humid), or for people doing manual or intense work, energy demands are high. Meat provides concentrated energy that supports metabolic needs.
Traditional societies adapted to their environment: coastal regions consumed fish; mountainous or colder regions consumed meat for warmth and strength.

3. Healing, Recovery & Strength Rebuilding (Ayurvedic View)

According to classical Ayurvedic texts and modern interpretations, meats — or meat-based soups — are sometimes prescribed to help recovery from sickness, malnourishment, or debility. (Wikipedia)
Especially when digestion (agni) is strong and body constitution (dosha) requires nourishment, non-veg can be beneficial.

4. Flexibility, Conscious Choice & Body Awareness

Non-veg need not be consumed always — but can be part of a conscious, balanced diet.
Intuitive eating: tuning into what your body needs — whether energy, protein, healing, grounding, recovery — and responding accordingly.

5. Honouring Diversity of Human Needs — No Dogma

Spirituality does not inherently mean vegetarianism. Diet is just one layer of our physical life, and should align with our body type, climate, culture, work, health, inner frequencies.
Forcing vegetarianism on everyone ignores individual diversity. For some, non-veg may support their body and soul better.

🌀 Awareness, Intention & Respect: The Key to Conscious Eating

If you choose to eat non-vegetarian food — the “how” matters as much as the “what.” In spiritual-conscious living, one eats with awareness, intention and respect. Here are some guiding principles:

Moderation: Don’t overeat. Ayurveda already warns that overindulgence (even in “good” food) can imbalance doshas. (Easy Ayurveda Hospital)
Quality & Source: Prefer ethically sourced, clean, fresh meat/fish. Respect the life taken. Avoid processed or unnatural meat products.
Balance with Other Foods: Combine meat with fresh vegetables, healthy grains, spices — support digestion (agni), avoid heavy toxins.
Body Listening: Watch how your body responds: digestion, energy levels, mental clarity, mood, sleep, general vitality. Adjust accordingly.
Spiritual Attitude: Eat with gratitude, awareness, non-wastefulness. Recognize the sacrifice involved in taking life, and don’t treat meat as “trivial.”

When eating becomes conscious, it transforms from mere consumption to a form of respect, nourishment and even sacrament.

🌿 Recognising That “One Diet Doesn’t Fit All”

Just as no two people have the same fingerprint — no two people have the same physiology, energy, psychological makeup, environment, karmic needs. So:

What’s nourishing, grounding and strengthening for one might be heavy and dulling for another.
What stimulates energy for one might disturb digestion or peace in another.
What supports a laborer’s life might destabilize a meditator’s calm.

This is why rigid judgments around diet — “vegetarian = spiritual”, or “non-veg = evil / tamas” — miss the deeper truth: food is deeply personal.

A spiritually attuned person is not bound by dogma, but by awareness, respect, and responsiveness to one’s own body and needs.

🧘 For Spiritual Enthusiasts — A Conscious Approach to Diet

If your path is spiritual, healing, energy, or transformation — here’s how you can use this understanding:

Feel into your body deeply. Notice your energy, digestion, clarity, mental balance. What does your body call for? Lightness? Strength? Healing? Calm?
Make food a conscious ritual. Before consuming, pause. Offer gratitude. Honour the life that sustains you. Eat slowly, mindfully.
Use diet as a tool, not a rule. Sometimes you may prefer sattvic (plant-based) diet. Sometimes, non-veg may support you better. Be flexible, compassionate.
Respect variation. What works for your friend may not work for you. What worked yesterday may not now. Adapt. Observe. Change if needed.
Avoid guilt or judgement. Spirituality is not about inflexible morality around food — it’s about harmony, growth, awareness.

🔁 In Conclusion: Body, Soul & Right Food

Non-vegetarian food is not morally superior, nor is vegetarianism the absolute “spiritual ideal.” Instead:

Non-vegetarian food can be “right food” for many bodies — offering dense nourishment, strength, healing, vitality. Ideal for people for whom Vegetarian diet isn't enough and leads to constant mal-nourishment or deficiencies.
Traditional spiritual and holistic systems — like Ayurveda and even the life of revered spiritual masters — show that meat-eating has been accepted and used consciously. Not for the taste-buds but for removing health problems.
If vegetarian diet is what is truly suiting you, I would suggest you to continue to eat it. If a doctor says you need nutrition from meat, dont avoid that advice I would say.
What truly matters is awareness, intention, respect, and listening to one’s body.

In the end, the food you choose becomes a mirror of your relationship with your body, your environment, your inner self. Choose consciously. Honor your body. Nourish your soul.

मानव शरीर — एक अद्भुत और जटिल साधन

हम एक बहुस्तरीय अस्तित्व हैं — शारीरिक, ऊर्जात्मक, मानसिक और आध्यात्मिक।
हमारी जीवविज्ञान (Biology) ऐसे संसार में विकसित हुई है जहाँ अलग-अलग जलवायु, परिवेश और प्राकृतिक संसाधन थे।
इतिहास के सभी युगों में, मानव जाति ने वही भोजन खाया जो उपलब्ध था —
अनाज, फल, सब्जियाँ, मेवे, दालें और मांस या मछली।

हमारी पाचन शक्ति, चयापचय (metabolism) और पोषण-ज़रूरतें इसी विविध आहार के साथ विकसित हुईं।

आधुनिक समय में एक “सार्वभौमिक आदर्श आहार” खोजने की प्रवृत्ति है,
लेकिन यदि हम मानव इतिहास और प्राचीन समग्र प्रणालियों को देखें —
एक सच्चाई सामने आती है:

भोजन विविध रहा है — शरीर, जलवायु, जीवन-शैली और व्यक्तिगत ज़रूरत के अनुसार बदलता हुआ।

इसी कारण, नॉन-वेज भोजन आज भी अनेक लोगों के लिए “उचित भोजन” है —
क्योंकि यह पोषक, सघन, आसानी से अवशोषित होने वाले तत्वों से भरपूर होता है और
सजगता से उपयोग करने पर यह —

शरीर को मज़बूत करता है
स्टैमिना बढ़ाता है
मांसपेशियों और हड्डियों को पोषण देता है
रिकवरी तेज करता है
मानसिक स्पष्टता लाता है
और कई लोगों में आध्यात्मिक ऊर्जा को भी स्थिर करता है

🕉️ आध्यात्मिक परंपराएँ और मांसाहार की स्वीकृति

अक्सर माना जाता है कि आध्यात्मिकता और मांसाहार एक साथ नहीं चल सकते।
लेकिन सत्य अधिक गहरा है।

प्राचीन भारतीय आध्यात्मिक परंपराओं में यह विषय कभी भी इतना “काला-सफेद” नहीं रहा।
कई सिद्ध संतों और अनेक प्राचीन ग्रंथों ने इस बात को स्वीकार किया है कि —

भोजन का चुनाव व्यक्ति की प्रकृति, कर्तव्य (धर्म), वातावरण और आवश्यकता के अनुसार होना चाहिए।

स्वामी विवेकानंद — एक वास्तविक उदाहरण

हालाँकि आध्यात्मिकता को अक्सर शाकाहार से जोड़ा जाता है,
स्वामी विवेकानंद ने सबके लिए अनिवार्य शाकाहार का आग्रह नहीं किया।

ऐतिहासिक स्रोत बताते हैं कि वह कभी-कभी मांस (विशेषकर मछली या मटन) भी ग्रहण करते थे।
(Times of India)

उन्होंने कहा कि —
भारी शारीरिक परिश्रम करने वाले लोगों के लिए
केवल शाकाहार पर्याप्त नहीं होता।
ऐसे लोगों के लिए मांसाहार आवश्यक शक्ति देता है।

उनके एक उद्धरण के अनुसार —
यदि केवल पौधों से प्राप्त भोजन से शरीर को पूरी ऊर्जा नहीं मिल रही है,
तो मांसाहार एक व्यावहारिक विकल्प हो सकता है।
(vivekananda.net)

यह दर्शाता है कि एक महान आध्यात्मिक गुरु भी भोजन को व्यावहारिक,
शरीर-आधारित आवश्यकता मानते थे —
जहाँ आध्यात्मिकता का अर्थ शारीरिक स्वास्थ्य का त्याग नहीं है।

✅ विवेकानंद के लिखित कार्यों से जो बातें स्पष्ट होती हैं

🔹 1. कुछ परिस्थितियों में मांसाहार आवश्यक हो सकता है

उन्होंने लिखा:

“मैं बहुत सख्त शाकाहारी नहीं हूँ, पर आदर्श को समझता हूँ।
जब मैं मांस खाता हूँ तो जानता हूँ कि यह सही नहीं है।
अगर परिस्थितियों में मजबूर होकर खाना पड़े, तो भी मैं स्वीकार करता हूँ कि यह क्रूर है।”
(spiritualbee.com)

अर्थ —
वे शाकाहार को आदर्श मानते थे, पर अंध-अनुकरण के पक्ष में नहीं थे।
ज़रूरत पड़ने पर मांसाहार को वे व्यावहारिक मानते थे।

🔹 2. कुछ क्षेत्रों में मछली-मांस खाने वाले लोग अधिक स्वस्थ

उन्होंने कहा कि पूर्व बंगाल जैसे क्षेत्रों में मछली/मांस खाने वाले लोग सब्ज़ी-आधारित भोजन वालों की तुलना में अधिक स्वस्थ दिखते थे।
(The News Minute)

🔹 3. अवसर मिलने पर वे स्वयं शाकाहार पसंद करते थे

उन्होंने लिखा —
“मैं शाकाहारी हूँ… क्योंकि अवसर मिलने पर मैं यही पसंद करता हूँ।”
(spiritualbee.com)

🔹 4. उनके जीवनवृत्त में मटन-फिश का उल्लेख मिलता है

(Times of India)

🔹 5. 1893 में विश्व धर्म संसद के एक कथन में “बीफ़” माँगने का दावा

यह विवादास्पद है और उनका प्रत्यक्ष लेखन नहीं है, बल्कि एक बाहरी व्यक्ति का विवरण।
(VivekaVani)
इसलिए इसे प्रमाण मानने में सावधानी रखी जाती है।

🔹 6. 1896 के एक व्याख्यान में उन्होंने मांसाहार पर वेदान्तिक दृष्टिकोण समझाया

जहाँ उन्होंने कठोर निषेध को अव्यावहारिक बताया।
(guidingthoughts.blogspot.com)

🔹 7. जीवनीकार शंकर के अनुसार —

“वह मानते थे कि पशु-प्रोटीन शरीर को अधिक शक्ति और ऊर्जा देता है।”
(ThePrint)

⚠️ विवेकानंद का दृष्टिकोण: क्या नहीं था?

उन्होंने सबके लिए मांसाहार का समर्थन नहीं किया
उन्होंने शाकाहार को “आदर्श” कहा
पर व्यावहारिक परिस्थितियों में मांसाहार को स्वीकार किया
वे धार्मिक कट्टरता या “भोजन पर नैतिक आतंक” के विरोधी थे
वे जानते थे कि श्रमिक वर्ग के लिए केवल सब्ज़ियाँ पर्याप्त पोषण नहीं देतीं

📚 कुछ प्रामाणिक कथन — अर्थ सहित

कथन	अर्थ / संकेत
“मैं बहुत सख्त शाकाहारी नहीं… परिस्थितियों में मांस खाना पड़े तो जानता हूँ कि यह क्रूर है।”	आदर्श स्वीकार, पर व्यावहारिकता भी।
“बहुत-बहुत मछली और मांस खाओ… सब्ज़ी ही खाने वाले बाबाजी बीमार पड़े रहते हैं।”	स्वास्थ्य और शक्ति के लिए मांसाहार का समर्थन।
“सबको शाकाहारी बना देना सही नहीं… घास खाने से कोई लाभ नहीं होता।” (ThePrint)	सबके लिए एक जैसा आहार उचित नहीं।

🎯 आप जैसे आध्यात्मिक कोच के लिए इसका meaning

आध्यात्मिक गुरु भी भोजन को rigid नियम नहीं मानते
शरीर और जीवन-परिस्थिति के अनुसार भोजन बदलता है
किसी एक आहार को सार्वभौमिक “आदर्श” कहना सही नहीं
मांसाहार को पाप नहीं, बल्कि एक जिम्मेदारी और जागरूकता के साथ लिया गया निर्णय माना जाए
आध्यात्मिकता = लचीलापन + जागरूकता + ईमानदारी

🕉️ आयुर्वेद एवं प्राचीन भारतीय परंपरा का दृष्टिकोण

आयुर्वेद भोजन को औषधि मानता है —
चाहे वह पौधों से मिले या पशु-आधारित हो
बीमारी, कमजोरी या पुनर्स्थापन के समय मांस-रस और मांसाहार को
बल देने वाली औषधि माना गया है
आयुर्वेद मानता है:
जो आहार आपके दोष (वात-पित्त-कफ), अग्नि, और ऊर्जा को संतुलित करे — वही सही है
कई स्थितियों में मांस शरीर को तेज़, सघन और त्वरित पोषण देता है

इसलिए प्राचीन शास्त्रों में मांसाहार को पाप नहीं कहा गया —
बल्कि व्यक्ति-विशेष, परिस्थिति-विशेष का विषय माना गया।

⚠️ कुछ परंपराएँ शाकाहार क्यों सुझाती हैं — और यह सार्वभौमिक क्यों नहीं

अहिंसा, शुद्धता, और सात्त्विकता के कारण
ध्यानाभ्यास और शांत जीवन-शैली के लिए हल्का भोजन अच्छा
लेकिन हर शरीर, हर जलवायु, हर मानसिक अवस्था एक जैसी नहीं

इसलिए —
Ancient India में भी "एक ही आहार सबके लिए" का विचार नहीं था।

🧠 क्यों कई शरीरों के लिए नॉन-वेज "सही भोजन" होता है

1. पोषण से भरपूर और आसानी से अवशोषित

मांस/मछली में ऐसे तत्व होते हैं जो शरीर तुरंत उपयोग कर लेता है —
प्रोटीन, आयरन, B-विटामिन, जिंक आदि।

2. जलवायु और मेहनत से जुड़ी ज़रूरतें

ठंडे, पहाड़ी, तटीय इलाकों में रहने वाले लोग
आज भी नॉन-वेज से अधिक ताकत पाते हैं।

3. इलाज और रिकवरी

आयुर्वेद कई स्थितियों में मांस-रस को
बिल्डिंग टॉनिक मानता है।

4. आंतरिक बुद्धि (Intuitive Eating)

कभी-कभी आपका शरीर स्वयं कहता है
कि उसे क्या चाहिए —
हल्का? भारी? गरम? प्रोटीन?

5. मानवीय विविधता का सम्मान

हर व्यक्ति अलग है:
ऊर्जा, स्वास्थ्य, कर्म, पर्यावरण, जीवन-शैली — सब भिन्न।

🌀 जागरूकता, भावना और सम्मान — आध्यात्मिक भोजन के तीन स्तंभ

मध्यमता
गुणवत्तापूर्ण स्रोत
शरीर की प्रतिक्रिया पर ध्यान
कृतज्ञता और सम्मान
अपव्यय न करना

जब भोजन सजगता से लिया जाता है,
तो वह साधना बन जाता है।

🌿 क्यों “एक आहार सबके लिए” सही नहीं

क्योंकि —

हर शरीर अलग है
हर ऊर्जा अलग है
हर जरूरत अलग है

आध्यात्मिकता का अर्थ यह नहीं कि भोजन कठोर नियम बन जाए।
बल्कि —
भोजन = अपने शरीर, प्रकृति और आत्मा के प्रति संवेदनशीलता।

🧘 आध्यात्मिक साधकों के लिए भोजन का सचेत मार्ग

शरीर की भाषा सुनें
भोजन को एक पवित्र अनुष्ठान बनाएँ
नियम नहीं — साधन बनाएं
स्वयं की तुलना दूसरों से न करें
अपराध-बोध, शर्म या सामाजिक दबाव को हटा दें

🔁 निष्कर्ष — शरीर, आत्मा और सही भोजन

न तो नॉन-वेज श्रेष्ठ है और न ही शाकाहार “अवश्य-श्रेष्ठ”।

सही भोजन वही है जो आपके शरीर को संतुलित, स्वस्थ और ऊर्जावान रखे।

अनेक शरीरों के लिए नॉन-वेज आवश्यक पोषण देता है
आयुर्वेद, प्राचीन ग्रंथ और अनेक संत इस बात को स्वीकार करते हैं
शुद्धता भोजन में नहीं —
आपकी नीयत, आपकी जागरूकता और आपकी ऊर्जा में होती है

यदि शाकाहार आपको सूट करता है — तो वह आपका सही मार्ग है।

यदि डॉक्टर आपको मांसाहार की सलाह देता है — तो उससे मुँह मोड़ना उचित नहीं।

अपने शरीर का सम्मान कीजिए।अपनी आत्मा को पोषण दीजिए।और भोजन को सजगता से चुनिए।
