________________ (d) “सर्वदेवारूजाक्रान्तं सर्वदेवशुचेहम!। HG1491 i dyt112/811" "The human body is always engulfed in various diseases, is full of impurities and is prone to down fall." Hopefully this negative view point about human body is repudiated in the following: "YTET HTEL L ETH HTETH I" - Kumarsambhava by Kalidasa "It is the physical human body which is instrumental for all types of good deeds - spiritual or religious" This view is now accepted by Jain Yoga teachers also. Acharya Mahapragya is very explicit that human body is very precious, should be cared properly and kept healthy. Physiologically the cleaning system in human body is so perfect that no other system in man-made factories or municipal management can match. It is even adapting and withstanding the pollution of air, water and food which is slow poisoning. The fact is that diseases or problems of body are only because of unnatural wrong life styles and increasing pollution. “हिरण्ययीपुरम्, अपराजितम्, अमृतेनावृत्तामपुरम्" - Atharvaveda “Human body is as if engulfed in nectar of peace, wealth and happiness”. Shubhchandracharya in Jnanarnava further states : "Tufar USITT FRISh T 7 9 112/2011" “The human body is full of diseases and miseries of old age which are imminent and inherent in youth-age". (iv) Similar views are mentioned in Yogdrishtisammuchhaya by Acharya Haribhadra Suri : (a) "agt hefast TOT 98: 3151] Haid RIGH ET I 14/761" "A person who welcomes the worldly existence is petty, profit hungry, miserable, jealous, fear-stricken, ignorant and busy doing futile things".
