I came across this yesterday and can't find it today. Anyone know the reference in AN? Can help me. It says the below.
The Buddha said the body has little or no suffering when young but the mental is seldom even peaceful for a moment.

Bhikkhu Bodhi translation of Roga Sutta wrote:People are found who can claim to enjoy bodily health for one, two, three, four, and five years; for ten, twenty, thirty, forty, and fifty years; and even for a hundred years and more. But apart from those whose taints have been destroyed, it is hard to find people in the world who can claim to enjoy mental health even for a moment.

Maybe this one from SN:form wrote:The Buddha said the body has little or no suffering when young but the mental is seldom even peaceful for a moment.
SN 12.61 wrote:It would be better for the uninstructed run-of-the-mill person to hold to the body composed of the four great elements, rather than the mind, as the self. Why is that? Because this body composed of the four great elements is seen standing for a year, two years, three, four, five, ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, a hundred years or more. But what's called 'mind,' 'intellect,' or 'consciousness' by day and by night arises as one thing and ceases as another. Just as a monkey, swinging through a forest wilderness, grabs a branch. Letting go of it, it grabs another branch. Letting go of that, it grabs another one. Letting go of that, it grabs another one. In the same way, what's called 'mind,' 'intellect,' or 'consciousness' by day and by night arises as one thing and ceases as another.

Thanks. There is something from AN that has the content I have typed.
