No need for hunger

There can be no hunger in the spiritual realm. The higher man goes, the less food he will need. This holds true for all of his other hungers too. There is his desire for ``knowledge'' and his indulgence in practices that reward him with ``good or bad feelings.'' All hungers fade away the closer he comes to his home. Really, all a man has to do to return is to stay away from harmful habits long enough until his withdrawal pains have released him for good.

Every sensible man must sooner or later come to this recognition:

What I get into also gets into me. If that is a true principle then what I let into my body and mind becomes me. If I have fed myself on Television, companionship, junkfood, sex and worldly business - that has become part of me. What lives when I live and what talks when I talk? Now I know why I am paining. I observe you and, when you, I know who is talking. Do I want that?
