The mercy of the Supreme is infinitely stronger than our egos, insecurities, and self-destructive tendencies so it’s neither helpful nor healthy to unduly castigate ourselves for our shortcomings.

As long as the body is not in perfect health, you think about it, and that prevents you from thinking of the mind. The sound mind is a sound body.

Money can help you to get medicines but not health. Money can help you to get soft pillows, but not sound sleep. Money can help you to get material comforts, but not eternal bliss. Money can help you to get ornaments, but not beauty. Money will help you to get an electric earphone, but not natural hearing. Attain the supreme wealth, wisdom; you will have everything.

Material progress and a higher standard of living bring us greater comfort and health, but do not lead to a transformation of the mind, which is the only thing capable of providing lasting peace.

A Compassionate state of mind brings inner peace, and therefore a healthier body.

Keeping your body healthy is an expression of gratitude to the whole cosmos — the trees, the clouds, everything.
