Food for Thought #48

~ By Buddhadāsa Bhikkhu ~

Studying the principles of Dhamma helps us to gradually come to realization that if we nourish only our physical being, we are fattening up only one aspect of our lives. While the other aspect - the mind - remains malnourished. The end result is that the body is the picture of health, while the mind is foggy, melancholic, and thin.
