Now we are free. So, like the bamboo stick for the ghost (to climb up and down continuously),1 join the mind in the service of God and withdraw from material pleasures. If that is not done, then the observance of moral codes will not remain. Eat only one pound or one-and-a-half pounds of food, but do not go up to two pounds. And do not sleep excessively, as sleep helps in digesting the food and invigorates the senses. Therefore, control your food and sleep. Footnotes: 1. 1. A man acquired control over a ghost. It would do whatever the man instructed. After a while, the man ran out of jobs to assign to the ghost. So, the ghost threatened, “Give me some work to do or I will harass you.” Worried, the man came up with a solution. He instructed the ghost to plant a long pole vertically in the ground. Then he told it to continue climbing up and down the pole until called to do some work. Then, on completing the work, the ghost was instructed to continue climbing up and down the pole. In this way, it was kept busy all the time so that it did not harass its master.
