Dear boys, you have got the Gayatri, the milk from the four teats called four Vedas of the udder of the Cow that is Godhead; it has in it the sustenance that will make you shine with spiritual health. You must now carefully use if for your good; do not spill it or spoil it; boil it, make curds out of it, churn it and get the butter that is immanent in it. It will become curds by means of your contemplation on the Lord, (Bhagavat chintana); with the churning-rod of discipline, collect the butter of ananda (bliss). (SSS Vol.5)
Spiritual health is preserved and promoted by attention to three Gunas: Sattva, Rajas and Tamas. (SSS Vol.7)
It is not the outer quality that matters; it is the inner strength that imparts value and significance. The heart has to be pure. Constant recollection of the glory and majesty of God, who is the Indweller, through the instrumentality of the Name, helps to purify the heart. That is the B12 vitamin that promotes spiritual health. There is no need for any other tablet. (SSS Vol.8)
Every person’s physical, mental and spiritual health is mined by bad qualities, bad thoughts and bad feelings. Hence, cultivate good thoughts, good feelings and good attitudes Expel every bad thought as it arises in the mind. (SSS Vol.28)
One has to strive to sanctify his time right from childhood. We are partaking of a variety of items as food to sustain the human body. But, none is making an enquiry whether the food one consumes is proper and healthy; whether it is beneficial for nourishing and nurturing his physical, mental and spiritual health. (SSS Vol.38, p.194)
The process of mixing the divine sugar and the worldly desires is called Yoga. The path of Yoga is to control the desires of the mind. Alternatively we may take the divine sugar which is at the bottom of the cup and make it flow in all the organs and this is also the path of Yoga. In this context, you should believe that this act of making divine sweetness flow into all the work you do is Yoga. The physical exertion which you put in with your limbs will give you physical health but whatever exertion is there in the heart and mind will result in spiritual health and a combination of the two is Yoga.
