When we speak of health, we normally think of only the body. But the health of one’s mind is important too. A healthy mind and a healthy body are great assets in the development of a healthy spiritual life. What we need is total health. That is the theme of this book.
REVIEWS
Look at the ocean and not at the wave although we appear as little waves, the whole ocean is at our back, and we are one with it. No wave can exist of itself. This whole universe is my body; al health, all happiness is mine, because all is in universe. Say, I am the universe.
-Swami Vivekananda
Personal health is a continual process of keeping oneself strong spiritually, mentally, and physically, and in doing so, keeping away or overcoming those forces that might make one unwell. To remain well, individuals must stay in harmony with themselves, their environment, and their Creator.
-Carol Locust
Our body is a well-set clock, which keeps good time, but if it be too much or indiscreetly tampered with, the alarm runs out before the hour.
-Joseph Hall
To become a thoroughly good person is the best prescription for keeping a sound mind and a sound body.
-Francis Bowen
