Food for Thought #41

~ By Buddhadāsa Bhikkhu ~

The body demands worldly food; the mind requires the food of the Dhamma. Those who see the mind as foremost, as the coordinating faculty of the body, consume with moderation for the basic sustenance of their physical being. Aside from this, their time is spent in search of spiritual food.
