Health is the essential prerequisite for success in all aspects of life, and for realizing the four ideals that guide human life - moral living, prosperity, fulfilling beneficial desires and liberation from grief. Man seeks to live happily and peacefully, but happiness and peace are not won from worldly activities. The body that yearns to be healthy and secure is subject to disease, decay and death. However, the Indweller, the Self, within the body is not born nor does it die. The body is the temple of God. Hence, it is the duty of man to keep the temple in good condition. - BABA 4 March 2009
