What is the secret to true good health? Bhagawan lovingly answers this question for us today.
The greatest disease is the absence of peace. When the mind gets peace, the body also will have health. So, everyone who craves for good health must pay attention to the emotions, feelings, and motives that animate the individual. Just as you give clothes for a wash, you have to wash the mind free from dirt again and again; otherwise, if dirt accumulates and you form a “habit”, it is difficult for the dhobi (person who washes the clothes) to clean as well as harmful to the clothes. It should be a daily process; you should see that no dirt settles upon the mind. That is to say, you should move about in such company that dirt is avoided. Falsehood, injustice, indiscipline, cruelty, hate — these form the dirt. Truth, righteousness, peace, love — these form the clean elements. If you inhale the pure air of the latter, your mind will be free from evil bacteria and you will be mentally sturdy and physically strong.
– Divine Discourse, Sep 21, 1960.
