External discipline (food) is not an end in itself; it is to be integrated with inner discipline—devoted, steady practice culminating in samādhi.
Didactic dharma-yoga instruction (ācāra). Not directly one of the five marks, but a common Purāṇic supplement to them.
Food becomes ‘sādhana’ when taken as an offering to the practice—supporting prāṇa balance and mental one-pointedness rather than sensory gratification.
