Becoming a master of your body as well as mind (including the senses) would make you tough and resistant, and in the long run reward you with the assets of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual fitness and forbearance. When a person follows moral values, he would be living in harmony with the universal laws. The eight-fold path preached by Buddha signifies the magnitude of leading a natural life with moral values: right speech, right action, right livelihood, right efforts, right mindset, right concentration, right perception and right judgment.
These eight paths are guides to leading your life following the principles of morality, mental culture and wisdom.

Ayurveda and Natural Well-being
Ayurveda acknowledges the moral conduct, or the Sadavritta, as the basis of natural well-being, delight and longevity. Ayurveda’s holistic guidance lays emphasis not only on all that is beneficial for the body, but it also sets norms for what needs to be discouraged or prohibited on moral, health and spiritual grounds.

Ayurveda forbids misuse of the tongue in using language that is abusive and gossiping or criticizing fellow men, using rude and harsh words that could be rather disheartening for someone; and speaking lies or false statement.

Ayurveda believes that the physical human body that supports mental balance is the key to natural wellness and longevity. So to ensure mental and emotional peace and endurance, we need to keep away from the felony or misuse of the mind powers. This mainly relates to going against the virtues and wisdom narrated in the religious Shastras (holy books), mentally conspiring against the other person and keeping the psychological attitude of seizing the money and monetary riches of the other.
