SHIVA, THE TEACHER AT ALL TIMES.
( Shiva explains the philosophy of all 5 senses to Sati over a meal )
Shiva could give a lesson in everything, while working, playing, even while eating. One day, Sati prepared a concoction of ghee, red pepper and salt, heated to a very high degree called Tadka, which she poured over the rice and beans, creating a sizzling sound and letting out an enchanting aroma.
“Mmm… you know what it is with food that sizzles?” Shiva said as He hastily swallowed His rice. It makes for another sense to get involved. See, the sense of smell, and that of sight, are the infantry of good eating. Haha! And then because we eat with our hands, the sense of touch also gets invoked. Ultimately the sense of taste of course, is king when it comes to eating, Sati, but when we do tadka, amazingly, even the sound of food is brought out.”
“You are such a philosopher,” Sati replied. “Why don’t you just enjoy your food?”
“Oh, but I do enjoy it! Of course I enjoy it. And I enjoy even more when I can decipher these things for you. What a meal Sati! You, are simply the best!You are Annapurna, the nourisher of the world”
