Good health is not just about eating right or exercising regularly. True well-being comes when the body, mind, and soul are nourished together. A calm mind can strengthen the body, while a restless one can weaken it, no matter how healthy our diet is.

Let us begin with a blog that beautifully explains this truth.          

The Story of the Saint and the Visitor

A man used to visit a saint frequently. Every time he met the saint, he spoke proudly about his house, its design, its décor, and how much he loved it. 

One day, however, the man said nothing about his home. As he was about to leave, the saint asked,
“What happened? You did not mention your house today.”

The man sighed and replied,
“Please don’t ask about it. I feel very hurt. My neighbour has built a house better than mine, and now I feel insulted.”

This small story carries a big lesson: When our mind is filled with comparison and dissatisfaction, no diet or lifestyle practice can keep us truly healthy. Mental peace is as important as physical care.                  

The Human System – Body, Mind & Soul

Our body is not a machine that runs on food alone. It thrives when three essential elements are cared for:

• Food for the Body: Fresh fruits, vegetables, juices, and wholesome meals.
  
  
• Food for the Mind: Peaceful thoughts and a sense of service to others.
  
  
• Food for the Soul: Devotion to God or a higher purpose that inspires us.
  
  

Only when all three are nourished can we experience true health, happiness, and inner balance.

What is Mental Power?

Every person is born with a store of Vital Force—the energy that fuels life. This energy gradually reduces as we age, which is why young people are often more energetic.

Similarly, our mind also has its own power. When a crisis strikes, even a weak or sick person can suddenly gather strength to face it. This inner strength comes from the mind. But when the mind is restless—filled with worry, anger, or jealousy this power gets wasted, leaving the body weaker and more vulnerable to illness.                

Strained Relationships – The Hidden Energy Drain

One of the biggest reasons for mental restlessness is strained relationships.

As social beings, we interact with family, friends, colleagues, and society. When our relationships are harmonious, our mind feels light. But when there is resentment, bitterness, or unresolved conflict, mental energy leaks away even if we are not in active contact with that person.

This can be compared to an inverter during a power cut. We usually switch off heavy appliances like fridges and televisions to save power, leaving only fans and lights on. But imagine if these heavy appliances kept running silently in the background—our stored power would be drained quickly.

Similarly:

• Strained relationships with family or close contacts are like heavy appliances consuming maximum energy.
  
  
• Distant or less frequent relationships are like smaller appliances that still consume energy, but less.
  
  

Even if a relationship has been sour for 20 years, and you no longer speak to that person, your mind is still paying the “electricity bill” for that connection. The only solution is to repair and release.                                                                              

How to Save Mental Power and Restore Peace

1. Focus on Good Qualities
   Every person has strengths and weaknesses. Choose to see their positive side.
   
   
2. Accept Your Own Mistakes
   Humility softens hearts. Accept where you may have gone wrong, and let go of ego.
   
   
3. Speak with Sincerity
   Approach the person with a pure heart and express appreciation for their good qualities.
   
   
4. Forgive and Move Forward
   Do not carry grudges. Forgiveness frees your mind from unnecessary burdens.
   
   
5. Practice Daily Harmony
   If small conflicts arise, resolve them quickly—don’t let them grow into long-lasting blocks.

The Benefits of Mental Peace

• Better sleep and deeper relaxation.
  
  
• Improved digestion and stronger immunity.
  
  
• More support from family and society, often without asking for it.
  
  
• Greater happiness, focus, and success in life.

Living with a Pure Heart

Health is not just the absence of disease; it is the presence of peace. When we live with sincerity, acceptance, and a spirit of service, our mind stays calm, our body stays healthy, and our soul feels fulfilled.

Let us make harmony—not just healthy food, a daily habit. Because only when the mind is at peace can the body truly flourish.
