00:00Animals in jungle never overeat and they don't care for delicious food.
00:05They want food just as life energy.
00:08If a big python or crocodile happens to swallow a big animal,
00:14they will not eat for long weeks or even months.
00:17There is no intention to overeat.
00:19Why does man overeat?
00:21There has to be something specific to man's psyche that is not found in animals.
00:25You need another source of fulfillment.
00:28And if you do not have that source of fulfillment,
00:30you will have no option but to fall back repeatedly upon food.
00:34Nothing else is there.
00:36So the only pleasure that is available is through food.
00:38How can you give up on that pleasure?
00:40We all want pleasure, right?
00:41If pleasure is not coming from anywhere else,
00:43then you will seek it in food.
00:45So food continues to be dominant as long as life is not rich.
00:49As soon as you get whiff of something that has the potential to fulfill you better than food,
00:57you can easily keep food aside.
