"A wise person is hungry for knowledge, while the fool feeds on trash. (Proverbs 15:14, NLT") .
Man is tripartite. Body. Soul. Spirit. Each of these parts make up the person. We are naturally more aware of our body because that's what we feed more. Because that's the part of us that complains most when it is unfed. We are all born knowing the dangers of not feeding our physical body. Functional breakdown, sickness, etc are all the resultant effect of not feeding our physical body.
Our physical body ties us to this earthly realm. It is what gives us the right to exist on this plane. The day our physical body breaks down, dies or stops functioning we are no longer able to exist here. We leave. And since we have many things that attach us here - loved ones, family, business, project, etc. we do what we can to remain alive here in the body. So feeding our body is not in doubt.
But our body is not the only part of us that we have. It is also not the part of us that needs feeding. We also need to feed the soul. We also need too feed the spirit. Question is with what and how?
