“You are what you eat. Think about what babies eat. Simple, clean food. What you put in your stomach is the major cause of all the problems. And then the next thing to take care of is your mental food. You are not only eating through the body, but you eat through your senses to satisfy the mind. See that whatever goes into your mental system—through the eyes, mouth, the nose, through the senses—is clean. If you keep on seeing and hearing undesirable things, you become those. If you follow the nature’s way of doing things, you don’t have any problems, physically or mentally.”

~H.H. Sri Swami Satchidananda
