The yogi who lives in contented isolation from the burdens and worries of family existence is not helpful to the poor fellow who has to till the field and produce the grain with which to feed him. For, from some source or other, he has to be fed whether he lives in cave or jungle. He cannot live on roots and barks and leaves; that is a pretty fiction for fables and fairy tales. He needs rice or wheat or milk and vegetables, and probably some fruits.
