Human beings cannot delay needs without consequences. Can you delay eating? For a time maybe. But then your body breaks down. Can you delay sleeping for a time but then your body breaks down. Controlling and delaying your natural inclinations which is actually your human needs has moral consequences. Being too stringent with self actually over time breaks down the mind and spirit and separated a person from self. I understand why your saying beast and using that horrid word to make it as if being human and having needs makes a person a mindster. But let’s take an example that fits and see how your belief system, even though it’s filled with discipline separates a person from self. Actually the Devine, your Devine connection is connected to self. A tree without roots cannot grow. A person without a home cannot survive. A human being without a self is a slav to the whims of someone else’s belief system. Yes it’s healthy to have responsibilities. And healthy to have boundaries and healthy to have morals. But to constantly shut down yourself for another’s opinion or way of thinking and living a life outside of alignment with self in all things lead a person to emptiness and a state of unrest. Galus is in the mind. You want peace. Bring yourself back into alignment with self and G-d. How do you know what you like and dislike if you don’t first listen to the voice inside your heart how do you know what foods to eat if you don’t listen to your soul. Imagine your whole life being on a diet. Sounds like he ll to me
