While fasting detoxifies the body, silence purifies speech and brings rest to the chattering mind, and meditation takes you deep into your own being.

-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar "Sri Sri Ravi Shankar"
Mantras purify us and lift us to a higher state of awareness… Chanting also has significant effect on our bodies and minds. Like everything in this universe, our body is made up of vibrating energy.
-A Spiritual Leader "Swami Vasudevananda"
Our body in Kali yuga is a field of action: As a man sows, so is his reward. Nothing by empty talk is determined: Anyone swallowing poison must die. Brother! Behold the Creator’s justice: As are a man’s actions, so is his recompense.
-Scriptures "Adi Granth"
No matter how knowledgeable a person is or how compassionate he is; even
for him the body does not deviate from its nature. Like us, even their bodies fall
sick; when poisoned or crucified on the gallows, even they die... Still weaving
miracles around them, isn't it a deliberate attempt to tarnish their personality?
-Deep Trivedi
Meat gives strength to the body, many people say... But the elephant - one of the biggest and strongest animals in the world - is a pure vegetarian.
-Sadhu T L Vaswani "Sadhu T L Vaswani"
Our body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care.
-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"
The human body is sacred – the veritable tabernacle of the divine spirit which inhabits it. It is a solemn duty of mankind to develop, protect and preserve it from pollution, unnecessary wastage and weakness.
-A Spiritual Leader "Stephen. L. Richards"
Know God and all fetters will fall ways. No longer identifying yourself with the body, go beyond birth and death. All your desires will be fulfilled in him who is One without a second
- Upanishads "Shvetashvatara Upanishad"
Knowing that I am different from the body, I need not neglect the body. It is a vehicle that I use to transact with the world. It is the temple which houses the Pure Self within.
-A Spiritual Leader "Adi Sankaracharya"
There is a deep connection between mind and body. If the acid level rises in
the body, it often leaves you worried. At the same time, it is also true that if your
nature is negative, even if you eat "fruits", you will feel acidic.
-Deep Trivedi
