One has to develop a sense of detachment from all objects of materialistic values. This is an absolute necessity in order to turn the mind towards seeking the Truly Highest, through constant contemplation.
An entire lifetime should not be spent in sheer bodyworship.
Quoting from our text --
It is necessary to sweat and toil, to fight and procure, to feed and breed, to clothe and shelter the body, but to spend a whole lifetime in these alone, is criminal waste of human abilities. Eventually, the body has to grow old, totter, become infirm and die away.
An animal body has value after it is dead. But, that is not the case with a human body and even the near and dear ones dread it, once the life has ebbed away.
One should keep the body clean and beautiful, feed it, clothe it, wash it but with the understanding that it is only an instrument, through which one can seek the Highest.
