Protect Yourself, Keep Discipline
Protect health and know the value of human life. Pollution from pesticides, sound, and vehicles makes protection difficult. Practice prāṇāyāma a minimum twice daily and techniques like Śaṅkha Prakṣālana. Cultivate organic food, even in small spaces, and avoid junk food entirely; fasting is preferable. Illness enters through personal mistake, not by chance. Despite pain or age, the human body enables prayer, worship, and meditation, which animals cannot do. This human life is precious, as there is no guarantee of rebirth as human. Discipline in diet and action is essential. Do not wish for death despite suffering, or you lose this opportunity.
"Know the value of human life. Yes, and sādhanā. Otherwise we lose that human quality, human lives."
"The illness didn’t jump into our body. Definitely, somewhere we made a mistake."
