In English
Some people are under the mistaken impression that sathwic food should consist of only milk, yoghurt, sweets and fruits. They believe that they will become sathwic by consuming large quantities of these delicacies. They are absolutely mistaken. Excessive and immoderate consumption of milk and its products awakens and aggravates the rajasic and thamasic qualities in man. A diet extra rich in milk, curds, and cannot be called sathwic, because it leads to the development of the passionate nature of man.
