Increasing Anger in Family and Society—What Is the Solution Now?
A brief teaching from Pujya Maharaj Ji—watch the video above to hear the full discourse.
The Complete Discourse
Yes, today we see so much anger and disintegration in society and in homes. This demonic intellect of eating chicken and fish can never provide peace. Those who consider themselves very VIP and boil and cut and eat other bodies—your downfall will come to pass. Whoever you are, this is your social question, not a personal one. You are increasing what is the cause of downfall, what is the cause of lack of peace.
As is the food consumed, so becomes the mind.
If you eat fierce and demonic food, will lust, anger, greed, delusion, pride and jealousy not torment you? Then what else? Will remembrance of Bhagavān come to you? Will the love of Bhagavān flow within you? Look, even when we endeavor to take steps in sadhana, even onion and garlic are restricted because they are tamasic. They will create distraction in our bhajan. So those who consume impure food, act with impure conduct, are filled with impure thoughts—what else will happen? The impurity increasing in our society today is due to improper diet and bad company.
