Foods that are too sharp, hot, dry, or harsh attract a restless, passionate nature, but they lead to pain, grief, and illness.
संदर्भ और टिप्पणी
On the battlefield, Krishna is teaching Arjuna how the qualities of food reveal the qualities of mind. After describing sattvic food, he now shows the rajasic pattern: what excites the senses often disturbs the person who craves intensity.
आज के संदर्भ में
You reach for another extra-spicy, late-night meal because your nerves want a hit, not balance. The body feels it later — in sleep, mood, and energy.
सार
What feels exciting in the moment can quietly wear you down afterward.
