Tirukkural says " Sevikunavuiladha pozhdhu siridhu vayitrukkum eeyappadum; when there is no good thing to ear a little food is offered to the stomach also. It means hear always good things like 3 monkeys only when see and speak always good terms. Then food is limited obviously to maintain the strength to listen again. Taitriya upanishadam speaks the entire creativity ,of what one sees , as only food eating the food. SECTION 9

Let him (the knower of Brahman) make food plentiful; that is the vow. The earth is, verily, food; the akasa is the eater. The akasa rests on the earth and the earth rests on the akasa. Thus food rests on food. He who knows this resting of food on food is established; he becomes a possessor of food and an eater of food. He becomes great in offspring and cattle and in spiritual radiance and great in fame. The ninth Anuvaka says that one should accumulate plenty of food but again for Bhrigu it has a profound meaning. He realizes that his teacher advises him not to forget the world around him being maddened by the taste of power instead he feels that the guru encourages him to fill himself with plenty of energy so that he is able to propagate the knowledge of the Brahman. Bhrigu understands that plenty of food is also needed to feed the many who will come to him for the knowledge of the Brahman.
