Interpretation
Among the many dichotomies designed in the Universe is His design of real purpose of existence of man
It is only when man is able to understand the Real Truth that he is able to decipher the true characteristics of The Force or The Creator…yet the means to achieve this objective is not only hard but confusing
Mankutimma, for man to come even close to deciphering the Creator, it is mandatory & yet elementary to control his mind & focus it in the right direction. The one human organ that has a complete influence over your mind is your stomach…for it is only when your stomach is satisfied, can you think with a clear mind – else, it is impossible. If you indulge in gluttony, then you become the slave of your stomach; if you starve it, then as well you come under its control as it will not let you focus on anything else. Find the right balance & then you would have got your first step right in your quest to evolve as a better human.
