*You can feel the rising of consciousness from the source. When you have heavy food like meat, this energy arising becomes very thick and more heavy. When you have lighter food like fruits, the consciousness becomes more clearer and subtle. When you are fasting or have digested all the food, you feel the whole field clear, still and more cool and blissful. In any case, there is always bliss because consciousness is basically blissful. But there are different qualities added to it by food. Hence the qualities of the food define the quality of the so called mind. The most well balanced state is called Sattva or pure creative energy. With certain foods we become desperate and violent - hence Rajasic food is used by soldiers. Tamasic food makes us more lazy and depressed - high oily and cheese and cold foods in general. Satvic food is always recommended - fruits, vegetables and all health foods in general. Once you reach Self realization, you are always in Satvic mode because you are controlling the state from the source. Sattva is pure creative energy - consciousness with 5 elements.*
