The place where we consume food is also important. It should be a lovable place, which we like very much, very much in sync with our emotions and compatible with us.
If we have food in undesired places or places which cause aversion or those places we hate, the food doesn’t get digested, in fact it may produce severe aversion, nausea, vomiting, indigestion and many other diseases.
Similarly we should have all the desired articles in the vicinity before we consume the food, including likeable dining table, seating, utensils etc., these things will produce pleasantness of the mind and create an ideal environment for food consumption.
It also makes eating a pleasurable and lovable event rather than a formality. A pleasant mind can receive and digest food in a better way.
Benefits of taking food in desired places with desired materials –
Na anishta deshajaihi mano vighaat kara bhaavaihi mano vighaatam prapnoti, yatha eva ishtaihi sarva upakaranaihi – On consuming the food in desired and lovable place and in presence of desired materials, the mental instabilities and diseases which occur due to consumption of food in undesired places in the presence of undesired materials are not manifested.
In fact, the mind will be at peace and the consumed food will become conducive to the body and will easily get digested bestowing good benefits and health to the body and mind.
