Dharam compares the energies acquired by the consumption of food to the energies generated by meditation and their nadir complement

Meditating is a sort of eating, a consumption of subtle energies which are digested by the mind's subtle digestive fire.

Meditation is a critical element of all daily programs because it satisfies the mind's hunger. Insufficient or improper meditation keeps the mind hungry, and makes it turn outward through its sense organs to seek satisfaction from sense objects, including especially physical food.

Use of food to satisfy the mind alone without consideration for the body always leads to disease. Good meditation nourishes the organism so thoroughly that the body can maintain itself on less food. Control of desire, which is mental hunger, is the key to longevity and immortality.
