The Role of Sweetness in Mental and Spiritual Health


Question: The book Jannat Ki Sair emphasizes minimizing sweetness for spiritual growth during muraqbah. However, your guidance often suggests increasing sweetness and reducing salt intake. Could you provide a detailed explanation?

Answer: In Rohani Digest, our recommendations are aimed at addressing illnesses and resolving individual challenges. The advice to minimize salt intake is specifically targeted at psychological and neurological conditions, not spiritual tranquility. For patients dealing with psychological disorders, mental instability, or psychosis, we advocate reducing salt consumption while encouraging a higher intake of sweetness. This is because sweetness enhances and fortifies terrestrial consciousness, the state of awareness rooted in the material and practical world. A deficiency in sweetness can weaken this consciousness, often leading to auditory or visual experiences of a transcendental nature. These experiences, when processed without proper mentorship or guidance, are prone to subjective misinterpretation. This detachment from practical realities can manifest as symptoms resembling insanity. An adequate intake of sweetness strengthens the gravitational pull of the terrestrial consciousness, enabling individuals to engage effectively with worldly affairs. On the other hand, excessive doubt or mistrust can undermine this consciousness, leading to an overactivation of the subconscious mind. When the subconscious becomes dominant without proper regulation, it disrupts the individual’s practical life, leading to misinterpretations of internal experiences, heightened anxiety, and, ultimately, significant distress for both the individual and their surroundings. Moreover, excessive salt intake has been found to exacerbate several psychological and physiological conditions, including tension, depression (in cases excluding hypotension), epilepsy, hypertension, asthma, dermatological issues, insomnia, and schizophrenia. In such scenarios, medical supervision is crucial to regulate salt consumption and mitigate its adverse effects.
