Second type of relationship is Soul to inanimate Substances.

This type of relationship is very much necessary, for no one can live without intake of food, air and water. To earn the basic needs of life, one will have to establish contacts with other individuals as well. It is necessary to restrict this relationship only to the point where all basic needs are met. One must not seek enjoyment from intake of inanimate substances through any of five senses- eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin.

As it is said one should eat to live and not live to eat. One should not be crazy of food fantasy nor one should have preferences to food selection depending on the taste. Food with nourishment should be the choice.

The food intake must be taken with the difference of at least four hours. There can be three servings during the day - Breakfast, meal and dinner. As stated earlier food must be selected depending on its nutritional value. Intake of enough of proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals should be kept in mind. Which means all types of vegetables, chapati, cereals should be the part of the daily food intake.

Over-eating makes you fat, lazy and prone to many diseases, like high BP, diabetes etc. Under-eating too makes you weak and less efficient.

However, less eating in the advanced spiritual stage is expected, for example Valmiki chanted 'Ram Ram' with any food intake for years together.

Not only intake, the bodily comforts from lavish life style are too restrict the spiritual growth. Hence body should be provided with minimum comforts with which it can function smoothly enough to continue the spiritual practice.
