Sai message for the day

[Guest guest]

Man's greatest fear is the fear of death. How is he to overcome this?

 

Man is not dying of diseases. In fact, it is fear that makes for his

death. Ninety eight percent of all deaths are to be traced to fear of

death. Diseases are, for the most part, psychological in origin and

impact. Check your pulse rate and blood pressure when you are

excited, worried, or afraid. These rise much above the normal level.

Thus, diseases are, to a large extent, rooted in your mental state.

 

Once the deity of Cholera came to a village. Seeing her, the village

elder said, " Mother! I am terrified at the thought of the devastation

soon to overtake our villages. I wonder how many of our people are

going to die! " The deity replied, " My son! Not all will be harmed by

me. There will be five deaths a day, that's all. You need not be that

much alarmed. " But, many people were dying. The elder thought the

deity might have lied to him. He turned to her and asked, " Mother,

you are a deity. How is it, then, that; after saying one thing to me,

contrary to that, you punish us? " The Cholera deity replied, " Son! I

did not utter a falsehood. I took away only five each day. So, I am

not responsible for the deaths of al the others. Those did not die of

cholera. They died of fear, that's all. "

 

You asked me how fear of death is to be overcome. The solution is

only courage! You should understand that at some time or other, death

is inevitable. Realise that there are no exemptions. When you have

the courage to realise this fully, fear of death ceases.
