Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 6409

6409. 'Fat will be his bread' means the enjoyment that goodness gives. This is clear from the meaning of 'fat' as enjoyment, for 'fatness' means what is celestial or the good of love, see 353, 5943. But When the word 'fat' is used in association with 'bread', which means the good of love, 'fat' means the enjoyment that goes with that love. For the meaning of 'bread' as the good of love, see 276, 680, 2165, 2177, 3464, 3478, 3735, 3813, 4111, 4217, 4735, 4976, 5915.
