Aarushi, as of today, is very choosy about food. She has a few favorites and tries to stick with them. It is rare that she would herself try out a new taste. Both, Surya and I, are reasonably concerned about it. We wish her to take a healthy diet, rich in all nutrients, so that she grows well. Even things that don't taste absolutely fabulous are nutrient rich at times. For them the taste has to be foregone.
And this is applicable to so much beyond food too... At times, God offers us experiences that we do not like, but we have to experience them. Some encounters that are not as sweet or as spicy as we would wish them to be, but if our Father believes that we should still have them, then the reason has to be some learning that He wishes us to take away.
We grow as healthier human beings only when we accept what the Father offers graciously and happily. When we positively try to absorb the right nutrients, the right learning, from the food for thought that He offers us.
In fact, many a times, we simply reject 'food for thought' and complain about not getting what we 'desired'.
There is nothing better than a varied diet, full of all nutrients, so that a need for quick-fixes - the 'satsangs' and 'counselling/ therapy sessions' - like iron and calcium tablets - doesn't arise...
