Real Freedom from Disease

Real Freedom from Disease
(Vaastavik Aarogya)
 
  
(continued)
There can be many reasons for chronic and incurable disease of a "kupathyajanya rogi" (man with a disease arising due to unwholesome). E.g.
1. The disease has been going on for a long period of time
2. The diseased man, indulges in unwholesome foods and activities
3. The herbs used for curing those diseases are old and have lost their potency
4. The diseased man does not have faith and trust in the medicine
5. The diseased man is not disciplined in his eating habits and what he consumes etc.
The diseased man who time and again continues to take various medicines and consumes these abundantly, he does not benefit greatly from those medicines, because those medicines become like ordinary food stuff. Those living in villages take medicines sparingly, but occasionally when they do take these medicines, then those medicine act very quickly on them. Those who consume alcohol, tea and intoxicating things, their intestines become bad, thus the medicines do not have an effect on them. Those individuals who oppose the food habits and ways of life as prescribed in the code of precepts, the religious sanctions and the Ayurveda code, their "kupathyajanya rog" (disease arising due to unwholesome), is not cured in spite of taking medicines.
Most of the diseases are due to "kupathya" (unwholesomeness). Due to unwholesomeness there is great damage to the body. Giving up unwholesomeness and taking up wholesomeness and moderation, is far more effective in getting rid of diseases then medicines. Therefore it has been said -
Pathye sati gadaarttsya kimoushadhaninishevanaih |
Pathyesati gadaarttsya kimoushadhanishevanaih ||
(Vaidyajeevanam 10)
He who remains moderate and wholesome in life, what need does he have of medicines? And he who does not live wholesomely, what need does he have of medicines?
The point is that one who lives wholesomely, his illness is cured without the consumption of any medicines and he who does not live wholesomely, his illness is not cured even after taking medicines.
On eating and drinking with a diseased man, eating from the same plate as him, sitting on the "aasan" regularly used mat of a diseased man, wearing the clothes of a diseased man, or mixing and indulging in intimate relationship with a diseased man etc, such diseases come about which are very difficult to identify. When one cannot identify the disease, then what will doctor's medicine be of use?
Due to the influence of the "yug" (age of Kali), the special medicinal herbs have lost their power. Many marvelous herbs have disappeared. Those who prepare these medicines, do not prepare them diligently and properly. And coming under the influence of greed for money, they instead of using the authentic and genuine ingredients, they mix other cheaper ingredients. Therefore these medicines are not as effective.
He who remains in pain due to disease, on him the disease has a greater influence. But he who engages in remembrance and adoration of God, who lives a disciplined life, who remains happy and cheerful, the disease does not have that much effect on him. Due to his cheerfulness and happiness, his disease is eliminated. (to be continued)
