According to Osho, food is an outer, material necessity—like clothing—that conditions the body-mind; it is neither divine nor irrelevant. Set outer needs in order so the inner can flower; deny them and you breed disease (poverty), worship them and you miss the essential. Real intelligence balances adequate nourishment with inner awareness, letting outer support serve inner transformation.
Food is just fuel for your body so your mind can be calm and aware—don’t glorify it or ignore it; meet your needs and use that strength to look within.
