Ep. 150 - सरल भगवद् गीता अध्याय 17 (श्रद्धा के विभाग) श्लोक 10,11 || Bhagavad Gita Simplified Chapter 17 (Divisions of Faith) - Verses 10,11 || 18/11/2022

(Verse 10) Having covered the characteristics of food dear to sattvic and rajasic people, Shri Krishna now describes the nature of food dear to tamasic people. Foods that are impure, have bad taste or possess foul smells come in the same category. Impure foods also include all kinds of meat products. Nature has designed the human body to be vegetarian. 

By slowly adopting food that is predominantly sattvic, we lay the foundation for improving the texture of our entire personality. 

(Verse 11) Shri Krishna now lists the types of yajna, the types of sacrificial rituals for worship, so that we can analyze the texture of our faith through them. Three people can perform the same action with three different attitudes of sattva, rajas, and tamas. Here, Shri Krishna describes the attitude of a sattvic person. Such a person performs his action driven by a sense of duty to a higher ideal, without any selfish desire.
