sanskrit

[Best factors for life] Isn't there one utmost factor (amongst others) for bestowing longevity, one for improving strength, one which is always to be increased, one among all happiness, one for exaltation/ecstasy and one as a path for self-realization? Yes, there are such factors. Non-violence is the utmost one to bestow longevity of living beings. Valor is the best among promoters of strength. Knowledge is the one which should always be increased. Self-control is the best factor for staying happy. Discovery/understanding/realization is the best one for feeling exalted/ecstatic. And finally, celibacy is the most effective factor in the path for self-realization, as per the view of Ayurvedic scholars.
