Attachment to the body impels one to seek
physical strength and health and an attractive physique.
All the efforts to make up one's face will
not serve to alter its natural features.
Only that which has been given by
the Lord will be enduring. You must be content with that.
While taking as much care of the body as is essential,
you should not have excessive attachment to that
which is inherently perishable and temporary.
The body must be taken care of only
for realizing the Divinity within. It is no doubt
necessary to maintain good health as long as one lives,
but obsessive concern for the body is misconceived.
