Bhāsyam Sutra 60
Restraining consumption of food is a means to shaking off the karma-body. Everybody is not capable of such restraint. Only the heroic one, on account of their sufficient psychic power of stamina can do so. A person without the attitude of equality to the agreeable and disagreeable is also unable to do so. The equally disposed people alone can succeed in such restraint and enjoy the stale, sapless food. In the Cūrṇi, the attitude of equality has been substituted by 'right vision'. The persons with wrong vision not are capable of restraining their food habit.
