How should a seeker conduct himself in daily life and what food habits should he observe?
A spiritual aspirant need not live in monastic isolation. He should practice universal compassion. Food plays an important part in the cultivation of universal compassion. Sathwic food enables the sadhaka to apprehend the omnipresent reality of Divinity. He progresses through the four stages of the life-divine. These four phases of spiritual advancement are 'salokya', 'samipya', 'sarupya' and 'sayujya'.(Summer Showers 1979, pg 92)
