Talk 488

2nd May, 1938

A group of young men asked: “It is said that a healthy mind can be only in a healthy body. Should we not attempt to keep the body always strong and healthy?”

M.: In that way there will be no end of attention to the health of the body.

D.: The present experiences are the result of past . If we know the mistake committed before we can rectify them.

M.: If one mistake is rectified there yet remains the whole which is going to give you innumerable births. So that is not the procedure. The more you prune a plant, the more vigorously it grows. The more you rectify your , the more it accumulates. Find the root of karma and cut it.
