“No matter how pure the quality of our "food," if it emanates from a fanatical, one-sided mental viewpoint, it will reflect the limitations of a thought process that perpetuates the underlying sickness of our emotional and spiritual being. An individual who is unable to achieve a balance of physical exercise, creative expression, and introspective soulful enjoyment will find it difficult to achieve a healing balance with food alone. [...] Fanatical adherence to anything, especially regarding diet, can become its own disease.”

“The work of Dr. Hans Selye is credited with first drawing attention to how stress affects the body; his research and writing were prolific and stand as one of the major ac complishments of medicine in the twentieth century. Dr. Selye's definition of biological stress is "the nonspecific response of the body to any demand made upon it." Stress can be either external or internal to the individual. Examples of external stress are your job, financial problems, illness, change of job or home, caring for children or parents. However, the internal stressors appear to be more important in the production of tension. These are one's own personality attributes, like conscientiousness, perfectionism, the need to excel, and so forth. People often say that they have a very stressful job and that's why they're tense. But if they weren't conscientious about doing a good job, if they weren't trying to succeed, achieve, and excel, they wouldn't generate tension. Often such people are highly competitive and determined to get ahead. Typically, they are more critical of themselves than others are of them. (page 36)”

“Often people are programmed to have pain because of things they have heard or been told a practitioner. "Never bend at the waist" means the onset of pain is a sure thing when they bend from then on, although it may never have caused pain before. Someone says that sitting compresses the lower end of the spine-so, of course, it's got to hurt when you sit. Standing in one place, lifting, carrying all have a bad reputation and will quickly be conditioned into a patient's pattern. (page 28)”

“Medicines have limitations; the divine creative life force has none. Believe that: you shall be well and strong." [...] Chronic dyspepsia had afflicted me since childhood. [...] Master's words instantly convinced me that I could successfully apply their truth in my own life. No other healer (and I had tried many) had been able to arouse in me such profound faith. Day by day I waxed in health and strength. Through Sri Yukteswar's hidden blessing, in two weeks I gained the weight that I had vainly sought in the past. My stomach ailments vanished permanently.”
