As soon as we wake up in the morning, we should cleanse our mouth. The inner and outer sides of the teeth should be brushed well. The surface of the tongue should be cleaned thoroughly. For the mouth is the entrance for all diseases. While talking to each other, we should be cautious of unpleasant odours. Health should thus be protected through hygiene. Not only this, each working part of the body should be fit and robust. We should always be aware of the truth that Divinity is inherent in each limb and organ of the body. That is why the Vedas extol God as Angirasa, the essence in the limbs. Each part of the body has its intrinsic characteristic goodness. You should learn from the Mahabharata about the strength of the Indians, who protected their health in this manner. At the time of the great war, Bhishma’s age was 115 years, and he was the commander-in-chief. Similarly, Krishna was 86 and Arjuna was 84. Such were the mighty warriors of those days who lived with health and happiness. Thus, by preserving health, the men and women of those times were able to be exemplars of many ideals to the nation. They ate and slept on time. Ate lightly; never partook of anything out of schedule.
