Zoroastrian Mysticism
Food and Zoroastrian Science behind its intake
Now a days there is misunderstanding that Vegetarian diet is best diet for our spiritual progress and Non Veg. food should be avoided by us at any cost.
But tell me do we have any answer to questions like as to why does a Parsi smoke, why does a Parsi remove Sudreh Kusti, why does a Parsi eat Pork, Beef, why does he marry outside even though all this is forbidden in our deen. Why does a Gujarati Baniyas and Marwaris without generalizing and being disrespectful to anybody and who is Shudh Sakahari still have their inner desire to make money at any cost even at the expense of playing with health of his customers add non edible waste to food material sold by him.We have no answers to it because it is all Karmic. Mankind with all given intelligence is yet given a freewill, whereas no free will is given to animals, because their evolution depends upon us humans. Freewill is nothing but God is testing us every minute which path do we choose, because on the day of judgement we are answerable to him and Mino Davar will judge us. Law of “Akem Akai” is at work every moment for rich or for poor, for a king or a Pauper. If we choose a wrong path we have to pay for it, if we stick to our tenets and follow it religiously by being God fearing then our evolution is faster.
But very important fundamental principle we have to know and understand about the topic of eating food or about veg or non veg food and is technically known as “Tarak e Hewanyat”. Eating Non Veg food does not make one inferior to Vegetarians, or by eating Vegetarian food only it does not make one superior to Non Vegetarians, except for Pork and Beef which our religion forbids it absolutely, because food that we eat is of Karmic nature, we receive food on our table as we are worth it. “Layak ne layak malae ne Mafak avey” or law of attraction of the Similar.
Why do we eat:-
Why do we eat ?? To get energy and strength and to physically survive. We eat food we like, our organs absorb nutrition like proteins, minerals, fats, carbohydrates, sugar from the food that we eat and assimilate in our body as flesh and blood and throw out waste as fecal matter and urine. That is what science has understood from the process of eating. But what is actual purpose of eating, Why do we feel hungry ?? What does our religion say about it.
As explained before our physical body is made up of atoms and 4 elements or “Anasar” of Fire, air, water, and earth and with it many permutations and combinations form the corporal body. Our elements are scattered in Mineral, vegetable and animal Kingdom and with the process of eating we are supposed to assimilate our own elements within ourselves. With the correct way of leading a Tarikat baaj life we slowly attract our own particles of soul within our body, hence such kind of diet is called as diet of Gav or “Gav no khorak” That is purpose of our survival and intake of food. But with wrong type of leading our life away from the prescribed path as shown in our religion we assimilate elements not of our own self, but that of another soul which produces friction. Such kind of food no matter of vegetable or of animal meat will lead one to passions and lust. The matter does not end there but if the intake of food is that of Vohun then the Ushtan of that food does not rhyme or gel with Ushtan of that person and thus his Ushtan will be inclined to Gasak or dark forces in nature. Those dark forces will impel that person to be attracted to soul particles of others or Haram na vichar.
If one manages to attract his own particles scattered in Animal,Vegetable and Mineral Kingdom then the soul is on right path and finally with final merging of male and female counter parts the soul becomes as one and that is known as Khetvodat. He thus is on path of Anushe Ruvan.
When Ustad saheb Behramshah Shroff was asked as to what is correct diet one is supposed to follow if one wants to follow a spiritual life, he replied that till you are not true to one’s own self and speak truth the question of superiority of vegetable diet against Animal diet known as “Tark e Hevaniyat” does not arise.
Although we as bastekustian Zarathustis one should be careful not to eat Pork or beef. The reason is although pork gives the required heat or Garmotari necessary in its meat the Ushtan of that animal is of Kharfastri Mithra and it even eats dirty fecal matter thus its consumption will lead one to undue passions or Havas-parast. In however sterile atmosphere of pig pans they are bred in they will still eat “Narak” or waste matter. The law of Similar at work here. As far as Cow’s meat is concerned, Cow is venerated in our religion with holy “Nirang” used in all our Pavmahal Kriyas like Nirangdin, Yajashney, Vendidad, evolving around sacred Varasyaji . Apart from that the meat of Cow or Bull has Khushki or meat only increases ailments in our body and does not give needed strength as required in a diet. The other four legged animals that one can eat is Sheep or goat as it has required Garmotari and its Ushtan does not lead one to Kharfastari Mithra. Same is case with Fowl like Hen, but male fowl or “Murgoh” is not permissible to be consumed as it is sacred vehicle of Sarosh Yazad.
When a person is on right path then he automatically becomes a Vegetarian. Even if he unknowingly consumes Non veg food without his knowledge then his system won’t accept the food and he will vomit it out. Today when some of us refuse to eat non veg food thinking that vegetable diet is highly spiritual diet but unknowingly take medical injections which has animal contents in its manufacture. Thus nature forces us to take animal elements within till we have not reached the required spiritual level.
The milk of Buffalo or vegetables, and spices has Arvahi or bad elementals forces which are of dark side of nature.
Food that we eat is Karmic and not spiritually uplifting:-
Today whatever we eat is not at all lawful. The milk of buffalo is full of Vohun. Note Vohun is admixture of Dravao plus Gaav. Except for Hom all types of vegetables has bad elemental of Arvahi full of “Kharfastari Ushtan” because they are everywhere in all kind of vegetation and trees ever since this Earth has become “Drujo Deman” or dwelling place of Druj ever since Ahriman entered this earth. In fact he did not enter all by himself but we allowed him to enter after us succumbing to offered temptations. Even the vegetables that all grow underground like Potatoes, Raddish, and all sort of Spices are no better than eating Non Vegetarian meat and is full of Vohun saturated with selfish evil Mithra of Arvahi leading us to Haram. Even Pulses also carry blue print embedded of Arvahi Evil Mithra particularly red coloured pulses. But Eggs are somewhat less harmful in comparison to others mentioned above.
It has to be noted that Cabbage and Cauliflower neither fit in category of Vohun nor Gaav. It much depends upon the Mithra of the farmer who grows and cultivates it. The saheb-Dilan Masters in Demavand cultivate and farm with their own bare hands and they with their pure selfless Mithra of Gaav. So today the vegetation full of Arvahi selfish Mithra and farmers who cultivate it are not upto the mark and cannot be considered as pure thoughts because there is too much of evil everywhere affecting our thoughts. Even the vegetable vendors who sell vegetables are soaked in druji which further aggravates the vohun in vegetables. Hindus divide the food into Sattvik, Tamasik, Rajsik. Forget human reaching level of Satvik pure mentality but degrades further and further becoming of selfish nature or Haramvati. He cannot differentiate right from the wrong and makes bad choices which leads him to Sins. Any food today is bereft of taste and pale in nourishment. In such a sorry scenario the so called Pure vegetarians or Shudh Sakahari are most common perpetrators are engaged in adulteration of highest order even at expense of consumers health and not caring for the consequences. Particularly the Manashni of a corrupt grocer is questionable even though they claim to be total vegetarians. Hence the food that we eat is of Margarjani Keshash or of Karmic nature and we have no alternative but to eat it quietly without any fuss because it is our own doings that we have to endure it.
