Studying the principles of the Dhamma helps us to gradually come to the realization that if we nourish only our physical being we are fattening up only one aspect of our lives, while the other aspect — the mind — remains malnourished. The end result is that the body is the picture of health, while the mind is foggy, melancholic, and thin.
