Benefits of pineapple
The pineapple has an extremely tough and thorny exterior. Only humans are able to remove the skin and eat the inside fruit. Animals and insects are unable to penetrate the thorny skin. The fruit itself has great power according to Ayurveda. It is consumed an hour after mixing it with fresh chilies and rock salt. It produces a wonderful sensation in the body and allows the person eating the fruit to enjoy life blissfully. It helps clear the intestines and promotes restful sleep and beautiful dreams. It protects the heart by reducing cholesterol. In ancient times pineapple was consumed by first placing it in a mud pot. The earthen mud pot infused the fruit with healthy minerals, including calcium, gold, sulfur and copper.
However, one tiny break in the mud pot, and the food would spoil especially from heat damage. This wonderful fruit would not be available to people without first, the protection of its thorny exterior and second, the protection of its mud pot container.
Nature’s creation of the pineapple is analogous to the structure of a country and the family unit. The tough exterior of the pineapple protects the sweet fruit inside from damage, just as the government protects the citizenry from disasters natural and man-made. The citizens also sustain the government through work and taxation. The husband and wife protect each other through the difficulties of life. Natural relations between the two during sex also purifies each other’s blood like a dialysis machine. Therefore, we must all remember that we are part of the same collective, we depend on each other, and we should always support each other for the welfare of all.
Blessings to all
