The dharmas of the body.
The
durability of a thing depends on the way we use it. For instance when you buy a
car, we are given hundred and one instructions regarding it and don’t you
strictly follow those? Do you pour diesel instead of unleaded petrol ? Why?
Because you have spent money and because you know the value of money.
What
about your body car? It is an invaluable thing it is given as a boon to you by
God through your parents free of cost. Your body has a guarantee card of 100
years. God has provided an ability to the body to repair itself of any problem
automatically without going to the shed (hospital) in the 100 years of life
span. Your duty is just to supply its natural needs.
If
an inanimate thing like car has some conditions to fulfil don’t you think the
precious body of yours can lay some terms and conditions? Do you know what they
are ?
The
body which contains five elements has five dharmas to fulfil. 1. Dharma of
water 2. Dharma of food 3. Dharma of
exercise 4. Dharma of rest 5. Dharma of
excretion (Dharma of Fasting)
Your
ill health is directly proportionate to your violation of the laws of the body.
Good health is dharma and ill health is adharma. If you wish to drive out the
diseases. You have to drive out adharma. This is the bare truth. If you are not
cured of your disease. It goes without saying that you still persist in
adharma.
You
go to a doctor, he can’t cure you completely. You know why ? Doctor hasn’t
created this body. So the cure is not in his hands. It is nature which nurtures
and protects your body. Your health virtually lies in the hands of nature and
your dharmic behaviour in accordance with nature. So you should strike at the
root cause of evil. You don’t have to spend your wealth to regain your health
if you change your attitude. The best way is to lead a life of dharma.
