A happy life con­sists of tran­quil­ity of the mind. The instru­ment of the mind is the brain, which is part of the phys­i­cal body. It is impos­si­ble to have tran­quil­ity of the mind if the brain is suf­fer­ing from mal­nu­tri­tion. Most brains in our soci­ety today are under­nour­ished. Never before in his­tory have we had so many men­tally retarded chil­dren! Never before have we had so many peo­ple suf­fer­ing from men­tal dis­ease! A trav­eler from outer space would look down on the earth and say, “What a mess you have made of your beau­ti­ful planet!” You know the sick con­di­tion of this planet: the wars, ter­ror­ism, crimes, the starv­ing mil­lions, the hatreds and jeal­ousies that turn nation against nation and man against man. Today, we live in a ner­vous, jit­tery world, a sick world that’s get­ting sicker by the hour!

Many young peo­ple take one look at this ugly, sick world and run straight to drugs to escape real­ity. Of course, no one can live with­out expe­ri­enc­ing some degree of stress, strain and ten­sion. There is almost no way of escap­ing these fac­tors of mod­ern liv­ing unless we find a fan­tas­tic dream island and live there in com­plete iso­la­tion. What we must do is equip our­selves to with­stand the effects of the pres­sures we encounter. To do this, we must build pow­er­ful Nerve Force. Our Cen­tral Ner­vous Sys­tem — with the brain as its cen­ter — must be strength­ened and kept healthy with proper nour­ish­ment. One of the most crit­i­cal fac­tors closely related to the health of the Cen­tral Ner­vous Sys­tem is the B-Complex vitamins.

When the body has an ade­quate amount of these nutri­ents, it can with­stand the stress, strain and ten­sion that our mile-a-minute life causes. How­ever, our mod­ern “dead” foods are sadly lack­ing in this vital ingre­di­ent. Since the civ­i­lized diet has very lit­tle of the vital B-Complex vit­a­mins, our bod­ies suf­fer from the same defi­ciency. No won­der the world is sick!
