"Character is moulded by the type of food we take and by how we eat it. Men are the only creatures that eat when not hungry and generally live to eat rather than eat to live. If we eat for flavours of the tongue, we over-eat and so suffer from digestive disorders which throw our systems out of gear. The yogi believes in harmony, so he eats for the sake of sustenance only. He does not eat too much or too little. He looks upon his body as the rest-house of his spirit and guards himself against over-indulgence."
-B.K.S. Iyengar, Light on Yoga
THIS IS red miso soup with tofu, seaweed, kale, white mushrooms, and daikon turnip; and brown sticky rice with toasted white and black sesame. Eating meditation.
