wrong in the computer of your life, you will get the wrong result and if you feed correct, the result will appear correct.
The people, who want to become the master of happy and healthy life, should ponder over the diet and its timetable that they follow. We will arrange happy and healthy life first and then will go to temple for religious deeds else there will be no capacity to act well in the field of virtuous and religious life.
The diet means the first step of life. The diet means the first step of healthy life. The diet means the first requirement of our life. Everyone has to take diet. Even the creatures of hell and the Gods of spiritual world take the diet too. The creatures of hell take four kinds of diet. The first diet that we will call a diet like a burning red coal. The second diet is like a rice husk burning fiercely. It is burning gradually but in a horrible way whose pang remains for a long particular period. It is also like a grainy or a diet like a sparkling. The third diet they take is so chilled that it seems like a piece of an icy part and the fourth process of their diet is that it seems hard like an icy slab in shivering water and it is so cool that even it can not be touched. Such are the kinds of diet that the creatures of hell take it.
The birds and beasts also take four kinds of diet. They take the diet that is totally well edible, pleasing and well digestible. The second diet is swallowed directly to the stomach as a rat passes directly into its hole. The third diet they take is like the flesh of an elephant. It is as hard to take as to digest it. The fourth kind of diet they take is so hatred that seeing it taking to them, even the others begin to hate it as a dog vomits the things eaten up already and then begin licking it again.
Man is different from all these creatures. Man takes four kinds of diet. The first kind of diet is produced from various corns. The second kind of diet contains fruit juice,
