A primary teaching Master Sree is a big advocate for, evident in his daily theory classes is to
Not be attached to anything.
Not any labels, not any religion, not any beliefs, not even memories.
With every module taught, this teaching stood still.
Pratyahara – Letting go of attachments, take only what we need, keep only what serves us, let go when the time is right.
This state of open-mindedness resonated as it is similar to us being exposed to the wide range of religions available, not excluding astrology, numerology, tarot card reading, crystal healing, fortune telling, etc. The same can be applied of the limitless diets: paleo/ keto/ raw/ vegan/ blood type or intermittent fasting advocated by everybody who achieved successes through their personal experiences.
Who is to say which is the best diet, or which is the one true god or the most accurate tarot card or fortune teller? Who is to say if eating meat is unnatural or are they meant to be eaten?
Everyone’s belief is different, everyone’s truth is different.
A sneak peek to a few thought provoking ideas mentioned in class –
| Commercialized by pharma industry | Popping painkillers pills for body/head ache |
| Alternative idea | Using natural herbs and spices to self heal |
| Commercialized by bottled water industry | Drinking 2 litres of water daily |
| Alternative idea | Drinking only when youre thirsty even if its 200ml |
| Commercialized by farmers/grocers | Poultry are meant to be eaten as food |
| Alternative idea | Animals are living things and are not meant to be consumed as food |
| Commercialized by all industries | Love makes the world go round. We love our partners and family. |
| Alternative idea | Only self love is the purest love. Every other love is conditional. |
My takeaway from this is to keep an open mind. Don’t be attached to any of it. Take in all the information with an open heart, and make your own assessment if it will serve you and you will like to take it with you. And in time to come, when it no longer serves you, let it go.
