UNFULFILLING NOURISHMENT

[40a top] Gemarah: In regards to the Minchah Korbanos (sacrifices) [in which the Kohen has an obligation to eat], it must be eaten with an appetite and not when one is full [because gluttonous eating is not even considered an eating at all].

D-E-ep Thoughts: Even though two exact same eatings can be done in seemingly identical physical acts [one for satiation and one for gluttonous purposes], they have opposingly opposite results. Every action we perform transforms worlds in the spiritual realms. We must never go through actions with improper motives (or even devoid of any spiritual intention). Every moment and action we are blessed with in this world should be used to elevate our souls and to bring more of G-d’s light into the world.
