7.9.1 "Food, assuredly, is more than strength. Therefore, if one should not eat for ten days, even though he might live, yet verily he becomes a non-seer, a non-hearer, a non-thinker, a non-perceiver, a non-doer, a non-understander. But on the entrance of food he becomes a seer, he becomes a hearer, he becomes a thinker, he becomes a perceiver, he becomes a doer, he becomes an understander. Honor food as a gift of God.

7.9.2 He who honors food as a gift of God, he, verily, attains the worlds of food and drink. As far as food goes, so far he has freedom, he who honors food as a gift of God."

"Is there, Sir, more than food?"

"There is, assuredly, more than food."

"Do you, Sir, tell me it."
