Meditation XVI 1 minute read 82 words

The cup that is overfilled spills on the ground.
Take your portion and be satisfied.
If you dine at a rich table, restrain your appetite; do not grasp at morsels with greedy hands.
Excess is the enemy of well-being: the body bloated with indulgence houses a restless spirit.
Eat until you are nourished, drink until your thirst is eased, and let contentment halt your hand.
A small measure enjoyed in peace outlasts a banquet devoured in haste.
