________________
The Jains through Time
In order to remain healthy, it is necessary that mind and body both remain internally and externally pure. Compared to that of the
body, purity of the mind is even more important. The success of a healthy and uplifted life is dependent upon our state of mind, because our body is influenced by our state of the mind. Therefore, a healthy state of mind is much more critical than mere physical
well-being. If the mind is contaminated in some way or other, the body
too will be affected by this change. The shadow of the mind's inner turmoil is always
reflected in the body.
