your body’s impact on spirit

“Since maintaining a healthy and sound body is among the ways of God – for it is impossible to understand or know anything about the Creator if one is sick – therefore a person must distance oneself from things which harm the body and accustom oneself to things which are healthful and help the body become stronger.”

-Hilchot De’ot 4:1

​
I came across this passage after trying to track down the origin of this quote, “Unless we keep our bodies sound, we can not pursue the life of the soul,” which was just attributed to a Jewish paraphrase.

Both are excellent reminders of the importance of taking care of our bodies, not just from a physical standpoint but also spiritually.

See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,

JC
