Shri Nathji used to narrate this episode in the life of Shri Babaji Maharaj.
A man came to Shri Babaji Maharaj and said to him: Maharaj! Main bekaar hoon!  Maharaj, I have no work!
Shri Babaji Maharaj immediately said: Shukar kar beemaar naheen hai!  Be thankful that you are not ill as well!
Shri Babaji Maharaj would also say in Urdu:

Ai insaan too tang dastiye haalaat men kyon ghabraataa hai.
“Tere paas to be bahaa khazaanaa sehat kaa hai!”

“O man, why does thou fret when in want,
“Thou hast with thyself a boundless treasure of good health.
