ANNALS

perspectives on the clean India campaign, the microbiota and ayurveda “…the desire of our physical system as a whole, of which we are usually uncon-scious…is the wish for health. This is always doing its work, mend-ing and repairing, making new adjust-ments in cases of accident, and skillfully restoring the balance wherever disturbed. It has no concern with the fulfilment of our immediate bodily desires, but it goes beyond the present time. It is the principle of our physical wholeness, it links our life with its past and its future and maintains the unity of its parts. He who is wise knows it, and makes his other physical wishes har-monise with it.
