Food, Cells, Physical & Mental Development Dada Rainjitananda (revised by Dharmadeva)
Cells • The human body is composed of countless cells. • There are two kinds of cells: • protozoic; • metazoic.
Human Physical Structure • All parts of the human body are composed of these two types of cells. • The entire human structure can be regarded as one metazoic entity.
Human Beings • Every cell has also its own individual mind and consciousness. • Human beings also have their centralised individual mind and own consciousness. • This is so, even though the mind of cells is different from the human mind and the collection of cells go to make up the human body.
Human Mind • The human mind is: • the unit microcosm; plus • the collection of the minds of the metazoic and protozoic cells. • The unit mind is inseparably related to each of its cells and the mind of the cells have a relation with the unit mind.
Life of a cell • Generally a cell lives 21 days, dies and is replaced by new cells. • When you rub your body some dirt comes off, even when the body is covered. These are actually mostly dead cells. • In old age the old cells decay and new cells are produced in lesser number and get less nourishment.
Formation of Cells • Cells grow out of light, air, water and the food we eat. • The nature of food and drink we consume has its effect on the cells and consequently on the human mind.
