The body is internally associated with the mind, rather the body is a counterpart of the mind;
it is a gross visible form of the subtle, invisible mind. If there is
pain in the tooth or in the stomach or in the ear, the mind is at once
affected. It ceases to think properly; it is agitated, disturbed and
perturbed.
If there is depression in the mind, the body also cannot function properly. The pains which
afflict the body are called the secondary diseases, Vyadhi, while the
Vasanas or desires that afflict the mind are termed mental or primary
diseases, Adhi. Mental health is more important than physical health. If the mind is healthy, the body will necessarily
be healthy. If the mind is pure, if your thoughts are pure, you will be
free from all diseases primary and secondary. “Mens sana in corpore
sano—a sound mind in a sound body.”
