Guest guest Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 SAIRAM SAGE VASISHTA SPEAKS Laghu Yoga-Vasistha, one of the highest philosophical treatises of Hindu Religion, gives answers given by “Sage Vasistha†to “Lord Rama’s†questions on Hindu Religious thoughts. On the question of diseases and their eradication, the dialogue between them is summarised below: “The pains that afflict the body are called the secondary diseases whilst the “Vasanas†that affect the mind are termed as mental or primary diseases. We have reached our present state through the absence of transcendental “Jnanaâ€, “The body is further subject to diseases through such actions as the eating of unwholesome food, living in unhealthy places, doing things at unseasonable hours, injuries inflicted, association with the wicked, longing after improper things, evil desires, bad thoughts, the distension and contraction of the orifices of the “Nadis†in the joints, etc. and the interrupted flow of the beneficial “Pranaâ€s†throughout the body –these cause the body to whither. These flourish in the form of diseases in the body, waxing and waning like the floods in a river during the different seasons.†“The body attracts effects to itself according to the nature of its countless affinities, good or bad, whether in the previous births or the present one. Thus, we see diseases, primary and secondary, arise through the five fold Bhutas (elements) sairam sairam sairam sai rukmani Add more friends to your messenger and enjoy! Invite them now.
