Does diet affect spiritual work?

[cistanche_enjoyer]

If any of you are vegan/vegetarian (or have tried it in the past), did you notice any impact on your spiritual work?

On one hand, I understand the idea that we should aim to reduce the suffering of all beings (including animals). But I’m also dealing with some health issues, and I have found I feel my best when I eat some (quality and organic) red meat - probably thanks to the bioavailable iron and various vitamins. Is this a selfish thing that is hindering my spiritual work?

Not saying it's true. But it's one way of seeing this topic.

Yes I have tried this directly, vegetable-based diets tend to break down easier in the stomach therefore stealing less prana from the mental space, making you more energetic and clearheaded. They usually call it Sattvic diet but I suggest you do the experiment to see what works for you personally.

Do whatever you want, asking these questions is hindering your spiritual progress

What thing do you mean it is hindering your progress?

If you ask me, true goodness is managing your nutrition consciously. You would spread more goodness that way.

People destroy their lives and other people's lives because of bad diets. And you ask if you could achieve higher states. Corruption might not be necessarily the killing of animals for consumption.

Ok, not many will take it seriously, but this is life changing advice.

Learn about food combinatorics.
