Even this body doesn't belong to us, but has been given to us to serve others; therefore, we cannot afford to do whatever we like with it, to give it cigarettes, alcohol, drugs or too much food. The body is really like a rented car. . . . Ordinary courtesy requires that when someone has very graciously lent us a body, we should use it for a good purpose and return it in good condition.
— Eknath Easwaran, The Bhagavad Gita for Daily Living: Volume 1
