One should not strive for physical strength and
happiness only. One should strive hard for the control of the mind. One
who becomes a slave to his mind is bound to become weak, however
powerful one may be...The
power of mind is matchless. It is from the mind that the most precious
virtues originate. If wealth is lost, it can be earned again. If health is lost,
it can be restored with the help of an efficient doctor. But if human values
are lost, human life becomes a waste... When we
develop noble thoughts and follow the path of truth in our daily life,
human values will blossom in us and protect us under all circumstances.
