File name: 66-08-15-B: you cannot appreciate our teaching in its true sense (Verbatim); #improved-audio
So it means those who cannot appreciate the-- the food that is given to you cannot appreciate our teaching in its true sense. When you listen to the teaching-- our teaching, we should accept it, but if you have some prejudice, you cannot accept the teaching. So do not have prejudice -- prejudice in its true sense, means we should not have any discrimination with our food. This is good test for ourselves. The food you have now will not be complete for you. Some things will be quite strange or unfamiliar to find. We should appreciate the food you have on each meal.
