Accidents and Diseases

ACCIDENTS AND DISEASES

Accidents and diseases are like flowers with a disgusting smell and an unbearable appearance. They are like branches and leaves of a tree that are clearly visible to the external eye. They grow on the human body that has roots as invisible as the underground roots of a real tree. 

Just as the flowers and leaves grow on the branches and the branches on the tree trunk that depends on its invisible roots for its survival; your visible diseases and accidents grow on your body that is rooted in its invisible mind. The body is the outgrowth of the mind.

If you cut off a tree branch in order to solve the problem, three more will appear there and overwhelm you. So, unless you cut off the roots, your problem will persist. Likewise, you have to cleanse your mind clean before you can actually have a grip on the diseases and accidents in you life.

What is human mind?

Except for a few people like yogis, no one can ordinarily see the mind in the form of aura although it can be photographed with the help of Kirilian photography. Since it can be photographed and also seen, it has matter in it. The body is the gross mind and the mind is the subtle body. Both are matter.

Our mind is full of thoughts, feelings, emotions and attitudes. Without these, there is only consciousness which is energy with the capacity of knowing. So, the mind is that consciousness which has impurities in it. It is a disturbed consciousness like a pool of water in commotion.

If the mind is a forest, it has thought trees growing in it. No trees, no forest; and likewise, no thoughts no mind. The cessation of thoughts is the end of the mind and also the end of the body and its disease and accidents. It is as simple as that.

The types of diseases with their various names appear in our bodies precisely according to our various attitudes in our mind.

So, how can we drop the thoughts, feelings, emotions and attitudes so that we can get rid of diseases and accidents? Have you seen anyone in your life doing that? The answer to this is a single word called 'meditation'. You can learn this knack in order to go into that sate of no mind where there are no thoughts, feelings, emotions and attitudes. It is available to almost everyone of us; only the journey is a bit more arduous than going to the moon. There are rare people who have succeeded in stopping their brain waves to shut down their brain functioning completely defying clinical indications for short periods of time.

All negative attitudes are sins and there are no other sins apart from these. Diseases and accidents are the result as a punishment for these sins. You cannot sin and avoid punishment. That's a higher law much above your courts and legal system which are only a trifle.Even death cannot help you avoid this punishment.

Not all trees give the same fruit and at the same time. Some bring fruit in a couple of months, others take years and some don't yield even in your life time. But no sin will go unpunished. There is a famous saying that the wages of sin is death but this is only partly true. Death does not solve all your problems and so, suicide is an illusion. Paying for your sins and cessation of committing further sins is the only solution. Meditation is the path. 

Our mind stores our sins in its conscious, subconscious or unconscious levels. Meditation is a journey into these deep levels to stop further accumulation of sins. As the store of sins becomes and also remains empty at last, no diseases or accidents can visit you. You are free, a liberated soul. 

No disease or accident comes to you of its own. It was your choice made unconsciously in the past. Our nearsightedness of an ant does not allow us to see as far as an eagle sees and we don't know what sins we accumulated long ago in our long journey of consciousness. As we wake up through meditation, we stop calling bad names in pain even to inanimate objects when we hit our heads against them. Actually, we should be thankful to them that give us pain because one more sin has been paid for. But instead, we become angry and commit another sin to give further continuity to accidents and diseases. We got to wake up and see this cause and effect concept in action.

Marriage and Children

MARRIAGE AND CHILDREN

In this YouTube video, a Nepali journalist is heard asking a celebrity beauty a single question, repeatedly as if he is singing a typical Nepali folk song; and the question is, 

'Why are you not going to get married?'

It struck me why this question is so important for this journalist and not for the lady because she kept on telling him it did not matter much to her and she was not interested in it at all.

What is a marriage?

As far as the Nepali society is concerned, a marriage for most women is actually slavery. They leave their virgin liberty behind and accept slavery in which they neither own any property legally nor are entitled for wages for the work they do at their so-called new home. 

Parents and relatives exert tremendous pressure on marriageable girls as this journalist in the video mentioned above does and the weak headed give in with little opposition. Few have guts to oppose; so they easily accept the traditionally prescribed roles of daughters, wives, mothers etc at the expense of their personality. But personality cannot be sacrificed for parents, husbands, children and other members of the society.  

A marriage is a social phenomenon. Without marriage, they are a beloved and a lover in relationship which is fluid, alive and flowing. As they cannot take each other for granted, they have to keep doing up their love each moment. 

But what happens when they get married? 

It becomes a legal affair now. And along with law, things like economics, politics and society get entrance into love. Love is a very private affair between two persons and marriage is an exposed public phenomenon. The relationship is no longer a natural one but has become artificial and clumsy. As soon as they become husband and wife, they have certain functions and eventually these functions or roles will become so imperative that love is displaced. The joy and the liveliness of love is gone. 

In every marriage, each partner tends to take the other for granted and their minds start dominating. This politics of the mind poisons the marriage. With legal and social support, they think their relationship is never going to break up. but soon, love disappears and hate takes over. Life becomes so poisoned that each starts longing death to the other. This often happens in a so-called love relationship too where the partners are not very conscious. Peace, bliss and joy disappear. 

How can one live in this way one’s whole life?  

It’s not that everyone is doomed to live that way. It’s possible to live differently in love, joy, peace and bliss but one must become very conscious. Both the partners can help each other to live a fulfilled life. Once both of them attain higher consciousness, having children can be no problem. If both are conscious of everything they are doing, saying, feeling and thinking, they can also be conscious during lovemaking. They can make it meditative in full awareness. It’s possible to invite a higher soul to be born as their baby in awareness. Unconscious lovemaking can give birth to low grade souls and that can be a great trouble for them in life. Have we not seen some babies born handicapped and sick? Whose fault is that? Because we are not aware of many things about life, we use the word ‘fate’ and avoid responsibility.  

The first thing to consider for having a baby is what to do to invite a higher soul to be born as your child. The second important thing is to know what a mother has to do to construct the right emotional and physical health of the baby before it is born. A pregnant mother is not one person but two. There are two souls in her body and every feeling and emotion affects both. If the mother becomes angry during pregnancy, it’s likely that the baby she’ll give birth will grow up into an angry person. Sometimes a pregnant mother may become angry without any seeming cause. This is so because the soul she is carrying in her womb is of that type. So you see, a lot of preparation is needed before you can have a child. 

A meaningful and fulfilled life is one which brings progress in consciousness. Husbands and wives can help each other to attain this. Lovemaking can be employed to transform sex energy into spiritual energy. You can stop the downward and outward flow of sex energy through effort and practice. Sex energy can rise upwards and activate her glands releasing tremendous energy and power in her. It’ll help her attain her soul. This relationship will be now a relationship between souls and hence spiritual. A child born through spiritual union between the mother and the father will be different from the one born through sexual or animal love. Most babies born today are without planning. That is why the present day world is so chaotic and devoid of order everywhere. 

If our love relationship is based on instinct, it is biological and hormonal. We are at the mercy of chemicals that are called neurotransmitters. It is animal and the lowest. Love as a quality of being for one and all is human and love not just as a quality but you becoming love itself is divine. The last stage can happen only when we become fully aware i.e. we are in meditation. This love will have the power to fill us with inner light and we will have attained divinity. A divine soul can be attracted to be born as our child now. A Son of God is born only through a Mary.

Another important thing to consider about marriage is the exchange of sex energy in order to bring balance between male energy and female energy existing disproportionately in one's body. This balance is liberation. That is why widows are not allowed in a selfish patriarchal society to marry again. She brings her late husband's energy with her. Why not this applies to a widower is anybody's guess.

Women in a patriarchal society are often maltreated as if they are commodities. An ignorant husband can turn a woman’s life into a hell. Newspaper reports conform that husbands beat and torture women. According to a past newspaper report in Nepal, 25 university graduate women in a conference declared that they were abused physically and mentally by their husbands for dowry, fashion, phone calls from men, speaking to males, inability to satiate sexual lust of the husband etc. Laws don’t help much and marriage is there to be saved. Some commit suicide and many are murdered, all because of marriage. Marriage is as much hateful as the family based on it is. 

Love liberates while marriage enslaves.

Health

Health

Health has become such an important word today that it is one of the most searched words in the Google search engine. Commonly, we understand health as a state of well being. But going deeper into this word, we find various interesting definitions of health. Since it is very important to understand what health is, we should discuss it in a fresh paragraph.

There are different definitions of health according to different ages, cultures, religions, civilizations, societies, organizations etc. The World Health Organization has its own definition of health and so do the Buddhists, the Hindus and the Taoists. There are some similarities and also differences in their definitions. Each language has coined its own word for health according to its speakers' understanding. Perhaps the most interesting meaning of health comes from the Sanskrit word 'swastha' which means healthy in English. The first part 'swa' means ' one's own ' and the second part 'stha' means 'place'. That means one who is in one's own place is healthy. A man who is at his own center or soul within his body is a man of health. Such a person does not have any illness, weakness or deformity either in his body or his mind or his soul. He is physically, mentally, socially and spiritually well.

If we look around us, it is almost impossible to find a person who is healthy according to what the Sanskrit word means to say about health. We ourselves cannot claim that we will not fall ill physically someday. Is there no way to make sure that no illness or accidents will ever happen to us? We know that health is possible from being at one's own center and therefore, it is very likely that diseases and accidents can be avoided. Now, the question is how to be at our own centers or souls; and therefore, if we can ever learn the method somehow. The answer to this can be the solution of health problem.

The advantages of being healthy and the disadvantages of being unhealthy are obvious. It is a waste of time to talk about them. It is sufficient to say that healthy people can have a better and more productive life while unhealthy people become incapable of doing things they want to do and they are doomed to live a life of pain, weakness and uselessness. 

Finally, we all should try individually to help ourselves to become healthy. It is a matter of waking up from the sleep called ignorance; and that can happen only when we learn to travel inwards to reach our center to become healthy. Every school should teach yoga and meditation as a part of education all over the world. Before that humanity has little chance to be healthy.
