The soul is subject to health and disease, just as is the body. The health and disease of both . . . undoubtedly depend upon beliefs and customs, which are peculiar to mankind.

The physician should not treat the disease but the patient who is suffering from it

I am not my body. My body is nothing without me.

No disease that can be treated by diet should be treated with any other means.

When man possesses a good, sound body that does not overpower him nor disturb the equilibrium in him, he possesses a divine gift. In short, a good constitution facilitates the rule of the soul over the body, but it is not impossible to conquer a bad constitution by training.

Sacred meditation is greatest medicine for the body, soul and spirit.
