Enjoying good health, all the living creatures, whether insects, birds or animals enjoy their lives. Drawing their requirements from water, air, light and food they enjoy the happiness of longevity.

God has put health in every particle of nature, in leaves, flowers, and fruits and in every drop of water. Every part of air every gulp of water, every particle of fruit, grains and vegetables, which we take in our breath, drink and food, is very health giving and strength giving for us.
