Book Description
The author who is in his 91st.year reasonably active, in good health with sharp memory expresses his strong belief in God and the power of prayers to realise inward peace and contentment so essential to be free from stress as one of the important disciplines for longevity. He illustrates some remarkable instances of danger and imminent death faced by individuals who have secured solace and survival by placing their faith in God. He recommends compassion and help for the poor and needy and a charitable disposition to free the poorest from want and disease. The tenor of his book is restraint in human exertions be it physical, drinking, sex and lays special stress on quantity intake of food and does not give importance to slimming through means of dietary fads and continuing fashion for gymnasium work if it is unaccompanied by quantitative restriction on food. He stresses importance of expending physical energy in household work which works as an Alladins DIY and recommends exertion as much as possible by walking to complete short external errands. He believes that the mind is the most important part of the human body and that it is very essential to keep it vibrant and active and that if the mind goes it will take the body with it. The authors views on love and marriage are unconventional. He stresses great importance in keeping alive and fresh physical mystique of the human body with as little exposure as possible whether one is married or has a live-in relationship and that most marriages have ended up on the divorce block because the mystique has vanished. He emphasises that for longevity a happy marriage with companionship and sex are necessary.
