Abstemious feeding is that in which 3/4 of hunger is satisfied with food, well cooked with ghee and sweets, and eaten with the offering of it to Śiva.
This Shloka of Chapter 1 of Hatha Yoga Pradipika talks about food habits. A wellbalanced nutritious diet has a huge impact on our physical and mental well-being.
Mitahara is a Sanskrit combination of two words, Mita (moderate) and Ahara (taking food) which literally means the habit of moderate food. It is also a Yogic concept that integrates awareness about food, drink, balanced diet, consumption habits and its effect on one's body and mind. In simple words, it is called Yogic Nutrition and Mindful Eating. Excessive eating can cause obstacles in the path of yoga such as Vyadhi or Alasya i.e., disease or laziness. It is also considered as one of the Badhak Tattva which causes failure in practicing yoga.
Mitahara is discussed in the Shandilya Upanishad, Taittiriya Upanishad and the Bhagavad Gita. It states that a Yogi must neither eat too much nor too little, neither sleep too much nor too little.

How hunger and thirst run our lives
कर्तव्य की भावना से कार्य में उत्कृष्ठता (excellence)
क ई तरह की व्यवस्थाएँ हैं, जो हमें सचेत करती हैं कि हमें क्या करना है। माता-पिता, समाज, कानून आदि के प्रति हमारे कुछ उत्तरदायित्व होते हैं, कर्तव्य व व्यवहार के कुछ नियम होते हैं जिनका हमें पूर्ण रूप से पालन करना होता है, परन्तु बहुत से लोग अपने कर्तव्यों के प्रति लापरवाह होते हैं, उन्हें अपने कर्तव्य पालन करना पसंद नहीं है ।
