The transition from discussing deep meditation and ultimate reality to the practical realm of food and diet signifies the need for balance between spiritual and physical aspects of life. Despite our philosophical and subtle thoughts, we are still beings with physical bodies. Swami Vivekananda's analogy highlights the importance of acknowledging and caring for our physical existence while pursuing spiritual growth. It emphasizes the necessity of recognizing the limitations of the body and the integration of both spiritual and physical well-being in our journey towards enlightenment.
