In Chapter 17 of the Bhagavad Gita, titled "The Yoga of Threefold Faith," our very own Dr. Bhagyesh Jha (Poet, IAS & Chairman of Gujarat Sahitya Akademi) leads the discourse. Throughout this chapter, he delves deeply into the subject matter.
Initially, Dr. Jha discusses faith as an inherent aspect of human nature, stating that everyone possesses faith. However, he explains that the nature of an individual's mind determines the color of their faith: sāttvic, rājasic, or tamasic. The quality of life they lead is influenced by the nature of their faith, including their dietary preferences.
Furthermore, Dr. Jha classifies food into three categories and examines the impact of each category on humans.
