Every activity of man is dependent on the energy one derives from the intake of food. The sadhanas one ventures upon depend for their success on the quantity and quality of the food taken by the spiritual aspirant, even during the preliminary preparations recommended by Pathanjali. The most external of the five sheaths that enclose the Atmic core, namely the Annamaya kosha (food sheath) has an impact on all the remaining four. The Annamaya Kosha is the sheath consisting of the material, flesh and bone, built by the food that is consumed by the individual. Food is generally looked down upon by ascetic minded aspirants and seekers, and treated as something which does not deserve attention. But, since the body and the mind are mightily interdependent, no one can afford to neglect it. As the food so the mind, as the mind so the thought, and as the thought, so the act.
