The modern world has drawn us far far away from a healthy lifestyle. And the modern medicine gives us the courage to continue. It's an illusion indeed. According to me, living in absolute health is life...otherwise it's simply an existence. We begin to understand the virtue of being a human being only when we have a sound mind in a sound body. And unfold our true self...
When we analyze our thoughts and deeds, we can understand that all of them are against the law of nature and these are repeatedly getting imprinted in our genes. Theses are the obstacles to a peaceful life.When we become our own judge (definitely no one else can judge you right), we can eradicate all those mistakes that were committed knowingly and unknowingly and refurbish our body and mind. this leads to a civilized society in which we can flourish.
So what is the 'Ethics' or the virtuous living or the Niyama?
In Maharishi's terms, it is...pursuing only those thoughts, words and deeds that do not harm ourselves and others' body or mind either in the present or future.
