Budget Homes

The title is more apt to our present condition. In this age of atomic supremacy the whole system is overfed. Every one SEEMS TO KNOW ALL ABOUT OTHER THINGS BUT NOT BOTHERED TO KNOW ABOUT HIMSELF. What a pity in deed! We are fully involved in all wordly pre-occupation in the midst of multifarious activities we forget ourselves and so we are UNDER NOURISHED IN THE SENSE WE DO NOT GET THE REQUIRED CALORIES of ENERGY TO WITHSTAND THE CALAMITIES OF BOTH INFLUENCED BY NATURE AS WELL AS BY OURSELVES. So due to deviancy in the proper intake of required energy we are UNDER NOURISHED. We are not able to face problems created by our own action.

Take for example a person employed in software. Even though he gets much more than an Engineer or Doctor he is at a loss to face problems of his own mind, health and not to speak of his family. For this he blames others for not co-operating. The mental stress causes physical fatigue that leads to heart attack, back and neck pain and so on. This relects on the family relationship. None have peace of mind. The material wealth do not bring PEACE OR REAL HAPPINESS.

Some time back I had an opportunity to meet a German Economist in Thiruvannamalai. When I asked him why they come to India and that too here which is most backward in all respects when compared to their country. For this, his ready reply was "Sir, WE HAVE MEN, MONEY, AND MATERIAL WEALTH" and also OTHER WORLDLY ACQUISITION TO GET OUTWARD HAPPINESS WHICH IS A MIRAGE. But we do not GET PEACE OF MIND for which he come to India - the PARADISE OF PEACE.

The above narrations do throw much light on the title OVER FED BUT UNDER NOURISHED.

If we take proper nourishing food to the REQUIRED QUANTITY AND CALORIES, we will get the OPTIMUM ENERGY TO SUSTAIN AS WELL AS TO REPLENISH THE LOSS made. Else any amount of OVER FEEDING WOULD results only in sheer loss.

Please let me know whether OVER FED AND UNDER NOURISHED in the real sense can help the body and mind in a fit condition?
