question if the soul doesn’t require food then why in the spiritual world people have honey instead of water foods also new dishes prepared by Radharani so Satchitananda body requires food answer the soul does not require food in the spiritual world whatever is done is for the sake of Leela it is for the sake of reciprocation of love so Krishna does not need food and Radharani does not need to cook food for Krishna but through practical actions love is reciprocated and Radharani wants to express her love for Krishna and Krishna wants to accept the love of Radharani so Radharani is reciprocated with her love that’s why Radharani or Yashodamai cook for Krishna and then Krishna eats the food so in the spiritual world there is nothing that is driven by necessity necessity means without that there will be death or there will be destruction in the spiritual world nothing is driven by necessity everything is motivated by love and a simple example to illustrate this we say that in the description of the spiritual world one common thread is that there are Kalpavruksha trees there are desire fulfilling trees which can give whatever we desire and yet in no past time of Krishna with the Gopis or Krishna with Yashodamai will we see the Gopis or Yashodamai telling the Kalpavruksha you know Krishna wants gulab jamun please provide gulab jamun no Yashodamai or Radharani they will cook themselves for Krishna the Kalpavruksha are there to offer the facility then why do Radharani or Yashodamai cook for Krishna because they want to express their love for him so even from the spiritual world’s own perspective although there is no necessity for cooking because the Kalpavruksha trees can readily offer everything still the devotees cook because they want to express their love for Krishna and the way to express love is by doing service so it’s not that the soul needs food not that the spiritual body needs anything for its existence but the purpose of the spiritual world and everything in the spiritual world is the reciprocation of love and the reciprocation of love is done through the cooking of food the offering of food and the consuming of food
