You Are That! – “Food to feed the food”

Taittirîyaka-Upanishad: Part :3:7

1. Let him never abuse food, that is the rule. Breath is food; the body eats the food. The body rests on the breath, breath rests on the body. This is the food resting on food.

Interpretation:

The everlasting voice hidden in every breath is food for the body, and the body absorbs the food. If the divine sound is not known, every breath becomes an abused food. Through the divine dictum, the body penetrates into the God’s voice, and the divine voice penetrates into that body. Thus the food is abiding on food.

Taittirîyaka-Upanishad: Part :3:8

Let him never shun food, that is the rule. Water is food, the light eats the food. The light rests on water, water rests on light. This is the food resting on food.

Interpretation:
The water inside the body is food for the fire, and the fire eats the food. If the energy of the sperm is used incorrectly, water like blood will become to shun food. Through the divine dictum, the fire absorbs the water, and the water soothes the fire. Thus the food is abiding on food.

Taittirîyaka-Upanishad: Part :3:9
3. Let him acquire much food, that is the rule. Earth is food; the ether eats the food. The ether rests on the earth, the earth rests on the ether. This is the food resting on food.

Interpretation:
The earth contained in the body is the food of space, and space devours the food. The magic word is that if the body is adequately nourished, then the soul will grow too. Through the divine dictum, the space abides in the body, and the body abides in the space. Thus the food is abiding on food.

Taittirîyaka-Upanishad: Part :3:10.2

4. He who knows this (recognizes and worships Brahman) as a possession in speech, as acquisition and possession in an up-breathing (prana) and down-breathing (apâna); an action in the hands; as walking on the feet; As voiding in the anus. These are the human recognition (of Brahman manifested In human actions).

Taittirîyaka-Upanishad: Part :3:10.6

5. I am food (object), I am food, I am food! I am the eater of food (subject),

I am the eater of food, I am the eater of food! I am the unifier (who joins the two together), I am the unifier , I am the unifier ! I am the first-born of the Right (Rita). Before the Devas, I was In the center of all that is immortal. He who gives me away, he alone preserves me: him who eats food, I eat as food.
Interpretation:
He who knows that the divine voice pervades in all the five elements of the body and that by the divine dictum, all the five elements dissolve into the divine voice and become the saptha swroopam, remains as the soul forever. It means that the food, the eater and the unifier, everything will become like one.

Sri Gurubhyo namaha 🙏
