"Heal your sorrow with meditation, and the cravings of gluttony will wither in the light of your inner joy."
According to Osho, gluttony is only a symptom of inner unhappiness—don’t fight food, heal the sorrow. Repression and forced dieting backfire; go to the root with meditation. When the lamp of awareness and joy is lit within, cravings, heaviness, and other compulsions wither by themselves. Cultivate meditation daily; as bliss flowers, eating naturally finds balance without struggle or guilt.
Instead of battling your appetite, learn to sit quietly and grow happiness inside; then the urge to overeat fades on its own.
Why this matters practically
- Breaks the binge–restrict cycle by treating the cause, not the symptom.
- Builds steady self-mastery through daily meditation instead of willpower fights.
- Side-effect: other cravings and reactivity also ease as inner joy grows.
