Good health and ability for proper understanding - both these are the best blessings in life
Good health is closely related to proper understanding. It is said that a stable mind resides in a healthy body. The mind, thoughts and understanding of a person having indifferent health will never be mature. One can judge a man from the status on his health. People with good moral conduct are healthy, strong and free from disease. They always have a smiling face. These people have some sort of magnetism so that everyone wishes to talk to them, make friends with them and always be with them. Nobody likes to separate from them. Healthy people have greater vitality in them
The reason for the current disease, sorrow, frailty, dissatisfaction, strife and lack of peace in our lives is because of lack of proper understanding. This lack of understanding makes us roam in the mire of greed and delusions, and does not allow us to come on the pathe of heavenly peace, natural satisfaction and endless virtues. Test your ambition, on the touchstone of truth and propriety weigh it on the balance of benefit or lack of it and immediately throw away those desires which are obstructing the path. Then you will observe how happiness, peace and good health enter your life.
Moral discretion is man's biggest Guru, director, assistant and harbinger of luck. In ancient times, every citizen of Nepal was a follower of Nepalese civilization and worshipper of moral discretion. Morality in the form of the Gayatri Mahamantra (great psalm) was worshipped. The characteristic of the strength of the soul in those days was to accept and adopt only that which is proper, derived by logic and acceptable to the intelligence, and to throw away the useless garbage of traditional muddling thoughts from the mind. Discrete people have always been discarding - according to the needs of the times - unnecessary customs, habits, traditions and beliefs even though these may have been introduced or adopted by so called great persons. If this mode of thinking is destroyed, then one should realize that all else is destroyed, even good health.
The truth of the matter is that at present we are living in a terrible era of illusion of intelligence. Instead of thinking along the straight and truthful live, we have become habituated to think in the opposite direction. As a result we are roaming dazedly in the labyrinthine maze of our own perversities. It is a quirk of destiny that on the one hand the strength of our intelligence is used in making money, in plotting strategies in satisfying our curiosity and creating miracles, while on the other hand the same intelligence discards ideals and gets entangled in such problems, that one is compelled to brand it as foolish. The path to happiness, good health and long life is straight and simple and free from the so called cleverness. Our own foolishness is the mother of all our troubles.
Wrong belief, very low type of thinking and tastes and willful choice of wrong direction - in the name of sophistication, these mistakes have ensnared intelligent people in their collective net and fooled them. If we wish to continue to rot in this situation, then we must also realize that our individual and collective health will be destroyed in the days to come. We must free ourselves from the illusion that costly foodstuffs can make a person strong and that freedom from disease can be achieved with medicines.
The type of world that we live in today can only be termed a world of mad person. When people throw morality, vision, propriety and permanent benefits to the winds and are immersed in making money by deceit, they should be considered profligates only.
It appears as if man's intelligence is centered on preparing various rich dishes for destroying digestion. This distorted intelligence manifests vividly at get-together and picnics, songs, musical instruments, make up, appearance and acting in films - all are aimed at exciting lust and creating the ammunition for destroying man's health and life. Artificialness has crept in man's lifestyle and food-habits to such an extent that apparently man has decided to boycott the dictates of nature. The whole society is bent on behaving like mad persons. This is akin to slow suicide. In this situation superficial efforts cannot contain the danger to society's health. For this we will have to bring a revolutionary change in our thinking-pattern and behavior.
Unfortunately the daring and will required to change the wrong beliefs, thoughts and habits, is very much lacking these days. Actually we must firmly hold on to what we believe is right and immediately discard all the wrong that is going on. Each man must have at least this much courage. Those who do not dare to accept the useful and cannot give up the useless must be called half-dead in not dead. They are not able to understand any discussion on knowledge and discretion. When they hear such a sermon, there is a temporary surge of ambition coupled with a desire to follow the good path for their own benefit, but the moment the talk is over, the desire dies down. If a person is not ready to change his beliefs and habits, then he cannot hope to obtain freedom from the problems of indifferent health or disease.
Jungle tribes like the Bhils in Nepal and Eskimos living in the unbearable colds of the North Pole are found to be healthy, well-built, cheerful and having a long life - span despite living in economic hardship and being deprived of costly food, clothes and medical facilities. They have adopted a simple life-style with the intelligence bestowed by nature. Compared to them we are very much different and despite being surrounded by comforts and facilities, we are making our bodies unnecessarily weak. The issue of good health for us cannot be tackled by nutritious food, rest, medicines etc. If that were so them we would find all wealthy rich people well-built like wrestlers and the poor, laborers and people not having enough their daily necessities with poor built and suffering from illness. But actually what happens is the opposite.
