DISEASE

Swami Sivananda

Offer first whatever you eat, to the Lord. Take it as His Prasad. This will purify your food. Take illness as the Lord′s blessing. Again and again assert: "I am the bodiless, diseaseless, all-pervading, Immortal Soul or Atma. " Every disease is a Karmic purgation. All diseases take their origin in the mind. Treat the mind first. Physical diseases will disappear by themselves. Worry has caused new deadlier diseases like blood-pressure, heart-trouble, nervous breakdown, etc. Fear checks the flow of blood, and even poisons the blood. Laughter and cheerfulness increase the circulation of blood. They are blood tonics. Contd…


The final conclusion is that your essential nature is existence, consciousness, happiness, and not Mr. So-and-so, Mrs. So-and-so. They are all false ideas coming to you because of this body. If the body is not there, you are not Mr. or Mrs., not even human beings.
