It is the other way round: food cannot make you spiritual, but if you are spiritual your food habits will change. Eating anything will not make much difference.

We have a tendency to make assumptions about everything! The problem with making assumptions is that we believe they are truth. We could swear they are real. We make assumptions about what others are doing or thinking-we take it personally-then we blame them and react by sending emotional poison in our word.

People should not worry as much about what they do but rather about what they are. If they and their ways are good, then their deeds are radiant.

We should not think that holiness is based on what we do but rather on what we are, for it is not our works which sanctify us but we who sanctify our works.
