Chanakya Neeti 8
दीपो भक्षयते ध्वान्तं कज्जलं च प्रसूयते । यदन्नं भक्षयते नित्यं जायते तादृशी प्रजा ॥
dīpo bhakṣayate dhvāntaṃ kajjalaṃ ca prasūyate | yadannaṃ bhakṣayate nityaṃ jāyate tādṛśī prajā ||
The lamp eats up the darkness and therefore it produces lamp black; in the same way according to the nature of our diet (sattva, rajas, or tamas) we produce offspring in similar quality.

दीपक अँधेरे का भक्षण करता है इसीलिए काला धुआ बनाता है. इसी प्रकार हम जिस प्रकार का अन्न खाते है. माने सात्विक, राजसिक, तामसिक उसी प्रकार के विचार उत्पन्न करते है.
