body and rama nama | gandhiji

What worse degradation can there be for man that instead of regarding his body as an instrument of worshipping his Maker, he should make it the object of adoration and waste money like water to keep it going anyhow? Ramanama, on the other hand, purifies while it cures, and, therefore, it elevates. | Mahatma Gandhi (Harijan, 7-4-1946)
