"The body has to be carefully and tenderly fostered; it is a precious gift, a very complicated but well co-ordinated machine, given for achieving a laudable task. Its exterior too must be clear and full of the charm of goodness. The skin of the Fruit of Ananda is the physical body; the succulent flesh is the muscle,
bone and nerve; the hard uneatable seed is the evil that gets mixed up in life; the juice which the fruit offers,
for which the tree was planted and nourished is the Bliss it shares with all.
The body will shine if the character is fine; service of man and worship of God will preserve its charm. The Lord will be watching with a thousand eyes the least activity of man to discover any slight trace of self-less Love sweetening it."
