Life Runs on the Strength of Health Sanwar Mal Mishra

Times are changing from ancient to modern to smart living patterns. Today, we are living in smart cities so the concept and life style goes with the present times. But some basics cannot be disregarded. The Mantra for today's living is contained in perfect Health. Health is not merely to live happy, wealthy, successfully and absence of disease but it is a state of mind and body. Health varies widely depending on income, gender, age, etc. In this context the factor of wellness adds value to the subject topic. Wellness reflects how one feels; it is a sense of well-being. In other words wellness describes the quality of life. It is opposed to illness or to negativity. Ayurveda defines health as complete balance of body, mind, sense organs and spirit; whereas medical science considers human body as sum total of parts. Wisdom is a faculty of the mind. Wisdom of living a happy and peaceful life resides in good physical health. Mind runs the body. Hence, physical health depends on a stable and sound mental well-being. Similarly, wealth creation is a function of the mind. Hence both health and wealth are connected and dependent on the smooth running of the mental faculty. Without enough money/wealth even the health cannot be well maintained; and when we become free from financial worries we can work to achieve inner happiness constituting total health- the goal of life. Linear thinking patterns are going out and old life style is slowly becoming obsolete. There should not be any regret, because the Y-factor is changing the mindset, the behavior pattern and the working profile. To stay with the times we have to strategically plan to achieve our life goals. Life begins with the physical body; it is the concern of everybody. A healthy body is the first requirement of healthy living. Health is wealth and together they draw their feed from a stable and peaceful mind. Hence, healthcare combines body, mind and spirit. Likewise, a balanced body, mind and spirit are the requirements of peaceful and happy living. It is a mind-based and mind-governed subject. Without happiness the purpose of life is lost. Happiness has no physical state of existence. Hence the topic of "Mechanics of Mind" is introduced. Know that lack begets lack. And lack in this case, is negative thinking. Let us be positive. Imagine yourself with a sense of mindfulness and send healthy messages to the mind on physical, mental and emotional aspects. Remember that old is gold. Here, the old popular saying occupies the title role of this book i.e. "Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man and woman healthy, wealthy and wise." This title will help achieve the goal of life we cherish.
