Real Freedom from Disease

Real Freedom from Disease
(Vaastavik Aarogya)
   

 
Real freedom from disease is onlyin God Realization.  Therefore in Gita,  God has been called "Anaamaya"  (free of faults,  total well-being, supreme blissful state). 
Janmabandhavinirmuktaah padam gacchyantyanaamayam"   (Gita 2/51). 
"….Freed from the shackles ofbirth, one attains the supreme blissful state." "Aamaya" is the name for disease. He who has no disease, no sickness, none, whatsoever, not even in theleast bit is called "Anaamaya", in other words,  "nirvikaar"  or free from defects, changeless.  Birth and death is the greatest disease ofall -  "Kodirdharogo bhava eva saadho" (Prashnottari 7).  Onattaining a state of supreme bliss the disease in the form of birth and deathis destroyed once and for all, forever.  Thereforethose great souls, who have realized God, are the only ones who are truly freeof disease "aarogya".  
"Aatmaanam ched vihaaneeyaadyamasmeetipoorushah |
Kimicchan kasya kamaayashareeramnusamjvaret || (Brhadaranyak  4/4/12)  
"If a man realizes and recognizes inan extraordinary way that "I am That" then what wants would he have and what burningdesires pertaining to the body would trouble him?" 
The point is that the Self (soul,Atma) and Supreme Being (Paramatma) are both free of disease (Nirog,  Anaamai). Disease only comes to the body. Therefore it has been said – "shariramvyaadhimaniram".  There are two typesof diseases that manifest in the body -  Due to "praarabdh"  (what is destined to come due to one's pastactions) and "kupathyase"  (due to unwholesomeness).    The disease that manifests in the body, inthe form of suffering as fruit of past sins is called "praarabdhjanya"disease. Those diseases that are born from eating and drinking prohibitedthings, instead of the essential things, are called "kupathyajanya" (arisingdue to unwholesomeness).  The disease thatdoes not get cured even by eating proper wholesome foods, by leading adisciplined life,  and taking medicines isto be known as "Praarabdhjanya"  (arising due to what is destined to come dueto past actions) . The illnesses that are cured by taking medicines and consumingwholesome things, should be known as "kupathyajanya" arising due to unwholesomeness. 
 Disease arising due tounwholesomeness are of four types - 
 1)       Saadhya – that disease which is curedby taking medicines.
2)      2)  Krushsadhya– that disease which is cured after taking medicines and wholesome things formany days
3)      3)  Yaapya– That which remains in remission for sometime due to consuming wholesomethings.
4)      4)  Asaadhya-  That disease which does not get cured evenafter taking medicines etc. 
 The disease that arises due to "Praarabdh"(destiny) is "Asaadhya" i.e. does not get cured even after takingmedicines.   If "Kupathya" –disease that arises due to consuming  unwholesome things, lasts a long time, it oftenbecomes "Asaadhya" i.e. does not get cured even after taking medicines.  Such diseases do not get cured even by medicines.  However, such diseases can possibly be curedby the blessings of some saint, by a mantra (sacred verse), by strongobservances (anushthaan),  or bydoing extra-ordinary virtuous deeds.
