Today's topic is food for thought. During this pandemic time which is testing people both physically and mentally, it is so good to see that people have risen above caste, religion, creed, race, and beliefs; and helped the needy at the human level. Be it for food, shelter, or for any other thing.

Why in our Shastras and beliefs, be it any, giving food and water to someone is considered as the best deed. In fact, in some combinations in chart giving food and water is considered to be a remedy for Moon.

We know that moon exalts in Taurus and that the moon is related to food other than emotions and mother. But let's not take it literally; food only for food for the body, it’s rather beyond that. I feel that it's more food for the soul, which makes the moon happy. While we work day in and day out to earn food for our body, what about food for the soul? Are we putting in enough effort for food for the soul?

Food for the soul can be different for different people. It can be in the form of pursuing some hobby, associating with some cause, helping needy, through meditation, following some spiritual leader, going to pilgrimages, and others. There can be many more forms that give individuals' soul food. What is more important is to search what gives your soul happiness? What gives comfort to your soul? What is food for your soul? For example, currently, for me, the food for the soul is to reach more and more people and possibly bring some changes to their lives through spread more spirituality. Even if I am 1% successful that will be enough food for my soul.

So, let's take a resolve that every time we are treating ourselves with good food in a good hotel or restaurant, good food for our body, we will also give some food to our soul.

Keep moving on the divine soul journey. Happy reading!!
