Yoga Philosophy says that: We eat through our senses !
Sight, hearing, Taste, Touch, and Smell are the channels that connect the mind to the outside world and the study of the interaction of senses and mind is the most fascinating
Ideally, senses should act as the mind’s assistants
Mind is the boss - at least in the name
But all too often
Boss doesn't boss
Senses take over
Cajole the mind to have a good time
Through consumption!
So the next time you want to consume
Ask yourself -
Will I be happy about my consumption in
5 hours from now?
5 Days from now?
5 months from now?
5 years from now?
If so, say “Hell Yes; Otherwise Damn No”
As Plutarch said once:
Like our minds, our minds are hurt more often by overeating than by Hunger
