2- Abstinence from voracity (too much eating)

In order to make your thinking to be very sound and to have the power of deliberation, it is incumbent upon you to abstain from voracity (too much eating); therefore if eating and drinking has become abnormal, it has a very important factor of corrupting ones thought, thinking and reflection. Calmness and tranquility of thinking has connection with the tranquility of the body and that will be in a situation whereby person’s thinking is at rest and did not feel voracity and heaviness. At this time the mind is at rest and it is shall also be secured from repulsive thinking and the attack of the Satanic thought.

In this respect the Commander of the faithful (peace be upon him) said:

Whoever reduces his consumptions will be much healthier and his thinking shall be sound.[1]

 Base on the effect of voracity, the vapor of the body is much and it will go towards the brain which will increase the power of penetration of Satan; and in this respect there will be increase and room for corruption in thinking and satanic temptation. But as for the impact of abstinence from voracity, there will be lesser vapor of the body and the chance for the penetration of Satan will be little and likewise the sensuality will reduce. From this respect selfishness and temptation will reduce while the thinking will be reform and sound.
