Youth is spirited state of mind: Be soulful-Stay young, Says Dada Vaswani

Facebook friend, TD Garg of Bathinda, sent the following post with the reaction "A good answer indeed!," which inspired me to write haiku.

The post goes as follows

:

A man asked Dada Vaswani (Noted Sindhi Spiritualist), "Dadaji! What's the secret of your energy at 97."

Dadaji replied, "Youth is not a matter of age, it is a condition of the mind. If you are receptive to new ideas, and prepared to perform new experiments in the laboratory of life, you will always remain young. The spirit never grows old, it is only the body that ages. If we fear less, hope more, eat less, breathe more, hate less, love more, we will never age. "

Here are a few haiku after dwelling on the post.
