Garuda Purana: Do not eat food at these people's homes, otherwise you may have to suffer a lot.:According to the scriptures, food creates our consciousness.

News Topical, Digital Desk : The Garuda Purana is one of the most important scriptures of Sanatan Dharma, teaching us the right way to live and moral values. If we incorporate the teachings of the Garuda Purana into our lives, we can avoid many future problems. We often go to someone's home and eat, but did you know that eating food prepared by the wrong person or earned by them can harm your character and destiny?

The Garuda Purana mentions 10 people whose homes or from whom you should never eat. Let's explore the spiritual and practical reasons behind this.

Whose house should one avoid eating at?

1. Criminals or Thieves: The food of a person who earns money through wrong means contains traces of their negative energy and sin. Eating such food can corrupt a person's intellect and tempt them toward wrongdoing.

2. Usurer or Moneylender: According to the Garuda Purana, it is inappropriate to eat at the home of someone who takes advantage of others' helplessness and charges exorbitant interest. Food prepared with the money earned through others' tears and suffering creates unrest in the mind.

3. Seriously ill individuals: There's a scientific reasoning behind this. If someone has been suffering from a contagious or serious illness for a long time, eating at their home poses a risk of infection.

4. Extremely angry person: It is said that "as is the food, so is the mind." Food prepared or served in a state of anger is full of tamasic qualities, which can also make the person eating it irritable.

5. Characterless Person: Food from the home of a characterless person brings mental impurity. The Garuda Purana clearly states that both the company and food of such a person lead to spiritual downfall.

6. Cruel or drug dealers: Eating food at the homes of those who torture innocent animals or run their households by selling drugs in society can diminish your good deeds.

The impact of food on our lives

According to the scriptures , food not only nourishes the body but also builds our consciousness. When we eat food prepared with love at the home of a righteous person, we develop positive thoughts. However, food earned through unrighteous means pollutes our thoughts.
