Right Use of Health |
|
If the health and well-being of the body be expended
in the path of the Kingdom, this is very acceptable and
praiseworthy; and if it be expended to the benefit of the
human world in general—even though it be to their material
(or bodily) benefit—and be a means of doing good,
that is also acceptable. But if the health and welfare of
man be spent in sensual desires, in a life on the animal
plane, and in devilish pursuits—then disease were better
than such health; nay, death itself were preferable to such
a life. If thou art desirous of health, wish thou health for
serving the Kingdom. I hope that thou mayest attain perfect
insight, inflexible resolution, complete health, and
115
spiritual and physical strength in order that thou mayest
drink from the fountain of eternal life and be assisted by
the spirit of divine confirmation.
