In a spiritual journey, what is the important way to deal with the mind and body?

[A question by Ms. Thrylokya]

Swami replied:- We always keep our body static and allow the mind to move everywhere. We must do the opposite to this general habit of human beings. You must keep your mind as static, concentrating on God and you must move the limbs of your body constantly to do physical exercise as far as possible as long as you are in awaken state so that blood circulation takes place giving good health to the body. If you allow the mind to move constantly everywhere, the mind becomes weak and ill. If the mind does not move, the mind becomes strong and if the body moves, the body becomes strong with good health. You must have a strong mind in a strong body to achieve good spiritual fruit. This formula applies even to  success in worldly life also!
