The whole universe is covered by the three Qualities of Nature. They are Sattvam (goodness, virtue, beauty, softness, peacefulness, love etc), Rajah (desire, violence, savageness, jealousy, haste, etc) and Tamah (laziness, languid, stupidity, ignorance, dirty etc).

We can see how all living being are divided into the three categories, Gods/angels are in Sattvam nature, human being in Rajah nature and plants/animals in Tamas nature.

Human being are also divided into these three categories, those who possess noble character, virtue, love to do charity, helping hand, maintain spiritual life etc are in Sattva nature. Those who are full of anger, jealousy, pride, they thought that the goal of life is to amass wealth, name etc are in Rajah nature. While those who are full of ignorance, laziness and the like are in Tamas nature.

So are foods and drinks, divided into these categories. Not necessary that each and everyone of us should eat pure sattvik food. A ksatriya, an army and the like are even advised to eat food that generates “hot” temper, valor and the like necessary for them. They are not advised to eat food means for priest which generate calm temper, peaceful mind etc.

There is a stage where three qualities of nature can be succeeded. In order to arrive into the spirituality, into a place beyond religions, even good nature should be succeeded. Level of goodness has limitations, there still “competition” of identity. The stage beyond three categories of nature is called Visuddha Sattvam, the real spirituality and unblemished virtue.

Sattva, which is a beautiful nature, is the basic nature of the soul, while Rajah related to the subtle body and Tamah to the gross body. For those who are diligently practicing meditation should also avoid lust and ignorance, since they are capable of spoiling or destroying spirituality. Only pure consciousness in Visuddha Sattvam capable of leading a person to realize the Supreme Truth, into the realm of God. Our relationship with God is no more a mere formality, barter or business. Praying God once a month or once a week or once a day and ask many things in return. No, the relationship of a spiritual person no more that “cheap”, but he is always in God consciousness and God is no more disturbed by formality or business which are childish. To emphasize once more that the supreme truth, peace and pure love can only be achieved when one is accomplished in placing one’s self or one’s consciousness in the Visuddha Sattvam or pure virtue. Truth is no more a product of “discussion” or “agreement” of people. Truth is no more determined by skill of argument. Truth has become Truth without question mark.

The students of meditation will slowly take firm steps in directing their consciousness and their habits of having Sattvik foods only. As a consequence of the influence of Sattvik food one automatically direct his association and environment into spiritual environment, live spiritually within the boundary of “SIMPLE LIVING, HIGH THINKING”. Spiritual environment or Visuddha Sattvam environment is full of natural atmosphere, clean, holy, peaceful, calm and filled with spiritual love, devotion and Truth without question mark.

Simple living does not means and pointing at living in miserable condition. Simple food does not means that one should eat only boiled rice without taste. Living in the world we need to enjoy or satisfy our tongue in the form of the six tastes. But those tastes are purified through spiritual process (for those who want to practice this may contact us. For those who just want to experience it should concentrate only on vegetarian foods as a mean to maintain health and non-violence).

Foods that one consumed slowly will change not only the way of life and the way of thinking but also the body. Scientific research even says that our body changed totally in seven years. Within seven years we are born again or “reincarnate”, we changed into somebody else. And that body is determined by the food consumed. If a person want a body with each cell made full of vibrations and currents of peacefulness, calmness, love, divinity, virtue etc, it is advised that one should slowly direct oneself into taking only Sattvik foods and strengthen by spiritual guidance and associations.
