The most pleasurable life is this "The prescribed medicine for the most pleasurable life"
"Throughout his life, Gandhi remained committed to non-violence and truth even in the most extreme situations. A student of Hindu philosophy, he lived simply, organizing an ashram that was self-sufficient in its needs. Making his own clothes — the traditional Indian dhoti and shawl woven with a charkha, he lived on a simple vegetarian diet. He used rigorous fasts, for long periods, for both self-purification and protest." (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi)
