Spiritual aspirant need to exercise control over food intake. There has to be schedule for eating. And nothing should be eaten in between.

Say for example, early in the morning break fast, then lunch then dinner then may be a glass of milk while going to bed. sufficient amount of vegetarian food that provides complete nourishment is essential.

If a time chart for eating is not made, there is no control over eating. People keep on eating something or other through out the whole day like cows and buffaloes. Mind should diverted from this world to God and these habits of uncontrolled eating will keep mind busy in food stuff.

There is no scope for non vegetarian and wining. Love is the quality that does not allow any pain to our beloved who stays in every heart including that of animals. If mind enjoys pain inflicted on animals through non-veg, it nourishes the quality opposite to love and it becomes impediment in development of love.

The regularity in timing and amount of food intake helps in maintaining good health. Health is an important factor because in its absence mind is busy with ailment and cannot be directed to God
