Living with Diseases
By: Acharya Mahapragya
Life is full of good and bad. If we sincerely make use of our inner powers, we can reduce the e ff e c t of bad considerably. Generally people are external seekers. So they are always searching outside in the mundane world for the solution of every problem. Man hardly looks inward, into his inner being for a solution.
Grief comes with disease, old age and death. The objective is to develop an amicable relation with the disease and other unfavorable situations so that y ou c a n learn to welcome it. The greatest truth is to establish friendliness with these phases. Medical science also says ‘do not be frightened on the arrival of sickness, rather establish friendliness with it.’
One should realize whoever has come may give pain but simultaneously will also purify the consciousness. By friendly attitude disease will never leave behind evil and sadness but it will ensure goodness and prosperity in our body.
Meditation and Mantra chanting can help one to awaken the internal tolerance power and develop friendliness. By giving auto suggestion time and again, one can bring about the chemical changes in the body and thereby disease becomes totally ineffective. In this way, even in the presence of disease one can blossom the flowers of happiness.
