We have to be frugal, starting from the table already. We should not eat too much. We should just eat enough, or even a little bit less, so that, number one, physically and practically speaking, we can last longer. The more we eat the less we will have, and other people will be hungry. And spiritually speaking, we should not eat too full, even with vegetarian (vegan) food. Eighty percent full is enough so that God’s Light and wisdom can be also filling our being with a better understanding about what to do with ourselves and how to help others and how to live a true humane life while we are on this planet.
