Advice from Rabbi Nachman  of Breslov #16

Eating

16) The bodily sustenance we take in can harm the spiritualsustenance of the soul. Eating and drinking can harm our capacity to experience the awe of God. Awe is the “sweet savor” which sustains the soul. The Tzaddik understands how to guide Israel. By learning from him and following his guidance, we give strength to the spiritual and counter the effects of our physical sustenance (Ibid.).
