Chapter 17 verse 8
“Persons in the mode of goodness prefer foods that promote the life span, and increase virtue, strength, health, happiness, and satisfaction. Such foods are juicy, succulent, nourishing, and naturally tasteful.”
“What
you eat so you become” is reality of nature. Food gets assimilated into our
bodies and becomes our personality. Hence it is very important to watch what we
eat. Bhagwan points to foods which are sattvic in nature-juicy, succulent,
naturally occurring food which doesn’t harm any being such as grains, pulses,
fruits, vegetables, milk etc. These in moderate measure would enhance the life
span of a human being and keep their body, mind, intellect and ego in pure
space.
