For example, India is suffering for centuries because of poverty. This is one of the most basic tricks of the human mind. So the best way is, create false bogus problems and start solving them. You know you cannot solve those real problems. Only in the fire of awareness real problems will be burned.
Not to be an egoist is going to be an uphill task. But not to be greedy will be difficult, arduous. And you become spiritual and you are enlightened because you don’t eat onions. What is the problem? You stop eating onions. And there is something beautiful about false problems: they can be solved, easily solved. To avoid real problems we create false problems. The real problem is not what you should eat and what you should not eat. The real problem is not salt, it is possessiveness. The real problem is not chillies, it is anger. The real problem is not onions, it is greed. This is a strategy of the mind, so that the real problems can be bypassed. Rather than looking deeply into your being, and rather than facing real problems, you create false problems. Now how can the onion or the chillies or the salt prevent you from becoming enlightened? Stupid ideas. The so-called spiritual people are obsessed with absolute nonsense. But if he has said it then he must be joking.īut the so-called spiritual people have been obsessed with such things. And I don’t believe that a man of the understanding of Raman Maharshi would have said it. And they are as spiritual as you are, and far deeper in meditation than you can ever be. But don’t be angry at poor onions, they are innocent people. If your desire for enlightenment is not sabotaged you will never become enlightened.
To sabotage all your possibilities of enlightenment.
Remembering that Raman Maharshi said to avoid chillies, excess of salt, onions, etc, I am struck with the question: Is the kitchen sabotaging our possibilities of enlightenment? Question – So many dishes in the ashram kitchen contain onions.
