Gurdjieff: Because originally we knew the use of this substance, whence the chasteness of the monks. Now we have forgotten this knowledge and there only remains the prohibition which attracts to the monks quantities of specific disorders and illnesses. Look at the priests where they grow "fat like pigs" (the concern about eating dominating them), or they are "skinny as the devil" (and they have inside little love for their neighbor); the fat are less dangerous and certainly more gentle.
Gurdjieff Meeting Paris 8.April 1943
