25 November 2007

Jog, jog, jog. Every morning as the sun rises. Get rid of another inch of fat. At this rate I should lose 10 lbs. a month. But I don’t. I stay the same weight. The calorie intake must be less than the calorie output to lose weight. I am increasing my calorie out put by jogging, and I haven’t increased my food intake.

What’s wrong? Either the same quantity of food has more calories, or the calorie output has remained the same because of less energy output in other areas. The body can play tricks because it is attached to its fatty condition.

Similarly, I can increase my bhakti activities, in the hope of reducing my material attraction, but my fatty material condition stays the same, because the intake of material calories remains the same, in more concentrated doses. Maya protects its interests. This is like rowing an anchored boat. Thus the tenth offense warns: don’t be attached to material enjoyment.
