Summary
This quote suggests that when our bodies are burdened by the physical and mental weights of past experiences or indulgences, they can hinder our ability to think clearly and creatively. The "excess" referred to here represents any negative or excessive baggage that we carry from the past. As our bodies and minds are interconnected, a physically burdened body can weigh down our mental state. It emphasizes the importance of releasing the past burdens and maintaining a healthy balance between physical and mental well-being for overall clarity and productivity.
