I reached in experience the nirvana which is unborn, unrivalled, secure from attachment, undecaying and unstained.

Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship… To keep the body in good health is a duty… otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.
