water, milk and all the liquid things. The third edible food contains fruits, dry fruits, cashewnuts, almonds etc. and the fourth diet contains all things used as mouth freshner like beetle, beetle nuts, clove, cardamom, cinnamon etc.
Man takes the four types of diet but the gods take diet of higher quality than we take it. They take the diet that is good in colour, good in taste, good when it is touched and good in its fragrance. Why shouldn't we take the diet that the gods take it? We human beings can take the diet of four kinds only as cited above but we should try to involve the qualities of godly diets. It is good if we consider our body like the temple. Every person wants to devote the best things of him. This body is also a temple made by nature. Man itself is a temple. Why the best things shouldn't be devoted to the temple of our own that are clean, pious and healthy things.
What a nice irony of human beings! They light up incense sticks in the temples but cigarettes, bidies etc. in their own mouth. No one offers cigarettes, bidies, gutkha, tobacco in the temples then why do you force this rubbish to your own temple i.e. your own body? The diet provided to body should be healthy, energetic, vigorous, clean and providing relax and entertainment to our mood. The diet that makes us excited, lazy or weak, should never be taken. It is a well known maxim that one, who bathes in cold water, takes fresh hot food, never needs any doctor. One more famous maxim is that one, who urinates in standing position, takes food or edible things in sleeping or lying position can never avoid poverty. They are always poor. Today, people take bed tea. It means tea made available on the bed. But infact it is a bad tea instead of being bed tea. It is very harmful and just like to invite dozens of diseases. It kills our appetite. It is said that even an enemy should not be provided tea to his empty stomach. It is better to take cow
