Eating food is a holy ritual, a yajna. It should not be performed during moments of anxiety or emotional upheavals. Food should be considered as medicine for the illness of hunger and for the sustenance for life. Treat each trouble you encounter as a fortunate opportunity to develop your strength of mind and toughen you spiritually.

 - Vidya Vahini, Chapter 8.

Steady perseverance alone will tame your mind.   - Baba
