Do not blashpheme food, that shall be your vow. Prana is food. Body is the eater of food. The body is fixed in Prana. The Prana is fixed in the body. Thus food is fixed in food. He who knows that food is fixed in food, becomes one with Brahman. He becomes possessed of food and he becomes the eater of food. He becomes great in progency, in cattle wealth and in the splendor of Brahmana-hood. He becomes great in fame.
