How to drink? (Ekev)

The word "drink" has a numerical value of 715. This is composed of four spellings of the name "everpresent," three spellings of the name "I will be," and the number of letters in these names. That is what one should have in mind anytime that he or she drinks anything. 

This is found in Ekev because of the phrase, "Man lives not only by bread but by all that comes from the mouth of God." The soul does not get sustenance from bread since bread is physical, but from the blessings that man pronounces.
