We need to maintain a clean & healthy mental body because it will affect the astral/emotional, etheric, and physical bodies. There is a saying, "What you think, you become" which proves that your mind can affect you immensely. You might have a strong physical body, but if you have a weak mind having lost the will to live, you are actually weaker than someone with a weak physical body but has a strong mind having the will to survive, Hence take care of your mind. One of my teachers like to say this, "You will know if your physical body gets hurt, but do you know if your mind gets hurt ?". Do not harbour any unwholesome or unskillful thoughts. Maintain your calm & composure. Be mindful of your various sense bases throughout the day. Do not be drawn into unnecessary thinking to drain your mental energy, not to mention creating bad karma with potential negative thought forms. Therefore, good mental development is key to a healthy & meaningful life.
