What is the relationship between food and spirituality?

Spirituality is not determined by what you eat; it is the awakening within that transforms your relationship with food and life.

— Osho
According to Osho, spirituality doesn’t come from what you eat; inner awakening transforms your eating. Vegetarian or non-vegetarian diets do not create compassion; meditation changes your essence, and then non-violence, simpler food, and looser habits arise naturally. If you reverse the order—using diet as a ladder to spirit—you breed repression or obsession. Real change starts within; food and lifestyle follow effortlessly.

Don’t try to become spiritual by changing food; become peaceful inside and your food choices will naturally become gentle.
