In Section 46 of the Hadiqat al-Haqiqah, Sanai presents a moral and spiritual critique of gluttony, illustrating how physical overindulgence hinders intellectual and spiritual progress. He asserts a fundamental opposition between carnal appetite and wisdom, famously stating that 'wherever there is belly (sensual appetite), there is no intelligence' (هرکجا بطنت است فطنت نیست). Sanai warns that prioritizing physical sustenance—metaphorically turning the kitchen into one's Qibla (direction of prayer)—veils the seeker's spiritual perception and leads to spiritual ruin, urging seekers to exercise moderation to preserve their spiritual discernment.
