SUMMARY: In this manner, everyone should consume the food by remembering that Lord Hari is existing in different food items in different forms. It is essential to know that Lord Hari is the provider of everything — food, shelter, taste, wealth, comfort, luxury and anything and everything under the Sun — He alone keeps the subjects in the belly; He directs, monitors and takes care of everything; Thinking that He is everywhere (Omnipresent), one should remain detached, leave the concepts or feelings of sinful and good deeds unto his discretion.

It should be perceived that it is Lord Hari who provides food, bakes the grains in fire, puts the food in our mouth through hands, passes the food through the throat into the intestines, stays in the stomach in a different form and assimilates the food. If the food is consumed with this feeling of dedication, then negative energy associated with certain Tamas food items will also be nullified.

In Yogadeepika, the following Shloka describes this feature of Lord Hari:

यस्तु विधिवाक्यानुसारॆण कृतं विष्णौ समर्पयॆत्।

तथा निषॆधस्त्यक्तान् सर्वांस्तस्मै समर्पयॆत्॥
