One who is diligent in eating does not allow the tongue to make decisions. The one who is diligent in eating consumes only the quantity that is needed for the body. Most of the time, when you eat, your body does not play any role. Only your visualization has a voice. You visualize the dosa and soft idli. The moment you visualize, your eyes visualize, your tongue tastes, and you say, Come on and get it. Your body says, no I don't need it! Mind says, No! Later you will feel hungry and at that time you will be travelling, you will not be able to eat, so eat now.
If your senses respond to your visualization, it is called perversion. It is unfortunate that the perversions become decision makers in your life. When your body wants food and you eat, it will be diligent. When your body feels the lust and then you unite, it will be the embodiment of love. If you decide without the second layer instigator, it will always lead you to fulfilment: tripti. But unfortunately, all your major decisions are made by perversions.
A man who makes decisions based on perversions can never be successful. Understand, the sadhu (monk) who falls in the bed with the opposite gender and the sadhu who falls in front of a food plate are one and the same. The moment your mind comes in and justifies, and you sit in front of the plate, your life is destroyed. When you let eating be based on the body, the visualizations will not instigate you.
