Spiritual Health
Spiritual health is the foundation of human life, avoiding fanaticism and misuse of spiritual achievement. It means not fighting other groups or creating fantasies of godhood. Humans uniquely understand God and problems, unlike animals who cannot avoid them. All world conflict stems from differing beliefs where each wants universal acceptance of their own. We must create tolerance, support others, and not take their beliefs away. Practice meditation, mantras, and embody non-violence, respect, and forgiveness. Think carefully before speaking to avoid hurting others. This health leads to spiritual development and self-realization, achieved through yoga and dedicated living.
"Spiritual health means practicing meditation, mantras, and prayers, and practicing in life ahiṃsā (non-violence), tolerance, respect, understanding, and forgiveness."
"All the problems in the world—the fighting and war—are actually caused by differing beliefs."
