॥ श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता ॥ 17.9॥
_कट्वम्ललवणात्युष्णतीक्ष्णरूक्षविदाहिनः ।_
_आहारा राजसस्येष्टा दुःखशोकामयप्रदाः॥_
भावार्थ :
कड़वे, खट्टे, नमकीन, अत्यधिक गरम, चटपटे, रूखे, जलन उत्पन्न करने वाले भोजन रजोगुणी मनुष्यों को रुचिकर होते हैं, जो कि दुःख, शोक तथा रोग उत्पन्न करने वाले होते हैं। (९)
Meaning:
Food that is bitter, sour, salty, excessively hot, pungent, dry and burning, are dear to the raajasic person, causing pain, sorrow and disease.
| HARE KRISHNA |
Explanation:
We now examine the characteristics of food that is loved by one whose faith is raajasic. Shri Krishna says that food which has sharp flavours, any food that is excessively bitter, sour, salty, spicy, pungent, dry or causes a burning sensation in the tongue and stomach, all this comes under the category of raajasic food. Now this does not mean all such food is to be avoided. We need to exercise caution when the proportion of these characteristics is "ati" or excessive.
It is quite easy to assess the impact of such food in our system. Consumption of such food causes dukha or pain, which begins with the mouth and hurts the entire digestive system for a long time. Such food can also have a long term impact on the body in the form of "aamaya" or disease. Since the person has raajasic faith, he will have a strong preference for such type of food, and will feel sorrow if he is unable to obtain such food. In today’s age, food that is high in sodium, sugar and oil also comes in this category.
Food, in its broader sense, also refers to the intake of information through the eyes and ears as well. Watching a lot of violent movies and TV, for instance, inflicts pain upon the mind. Many people get addicted to the internet and television, and experience sorrow if they are unable to log on or watch TV, even for a short while. It is no different than a bodily disease. In other words, the kind of television or internet content we consume can also reveal a lot about the texture of our faith.
