Analyzing Bertrand Russell I believe what Russell was stating was that we not only need to nourish our bodies‚ we also need to tend to our minds as well. We must be careful not to sink into monotony‚ because when we do we tend to fall back to the base instincts of operating on routine rather than using our minds.
