The problem of health is not solved unless we consider it from the standpoint of the individual mind, body, surroundings, and Being. If we do not take the Being into account, the purpose of physical and mental health will not be served, just as if we do not take into account the value of the sap, the health of the tree, its branches, flowers, and fruit cannot be maintained. A skilled gardener seeing a withering leaf does not bother to attend to it by itself; through the wilting leaf he only receives the danger signals for the entire tree. So he/she directs his/her attention to the root, waters it, and, by his/her doing so, the sap is again able to reach all the different parts of the tree.
