World Population has
touched almost 7.25 billion out of which our country's contribution is 1.25
billion which amounts to 16%. Approximately within hundred years all of those
who have figured in the number will have died. Ever since Homo sapiens have
made their presence on this earth plane uncountable individuals have lived and
passed away. Though we are mortals the overlap of the individuals makes the
human race immortal. Immortality is for the human race not for the individual
human being; hence the bottom line is that death is a reality that everyone has
to face inevitably.
When Yaksha asked
Yudhisthira, “What is the most amazing thing in this universe?” Dharmaraja
replied, “The most amazing thing is that even though every day one sees
countless living entities dying, he still acts and thinks as if he will live
forever.” And to add to that it is a known fact that most of them avoid the
subject of death as if it is a taboo and for them death is far from their
thoughts. Why is it so??? It is because they imagine living forever this
is Abhinivesha (self-love out of ignorance). Yet, millions of them die
every year irrespective of weather they are young or old, healthy or sick owing
to a variety of causes like disease, accidents and crime.
When the death is due
to accident or crime it is obvious to link them to the past karma. But most
importantly disease is also due to past karma and many a times they become the
cause for the effect called death. The invention of modern medicine is indeed
laudable where new medicines and healing practices are constantly researched to
help a patient. However it is evident that people are still falling sick and
diseases are becoming ever weirder. It is normal for a person who falls sick to
go to a doctor, take pills prescribed and if not controlled receive injections
and if even more severe diagnose and if required get a surgery done. Doctors
who are considered second God try their level best to treat the patient
sincerely as they firmly believe that for every kind of disease, there are
corresponding ways to heal it.
Pharmaceutical
scientists are on constant research and inventing antibiotics to fight viral
and bacterial diseases however, whenever those microbes become resistant even
to those antibiotics, there has to be a new search all over again. This has an
adverse effect on the patient who concludes that there is no reliable method of
treatment. Such patients become impatient and often turn to every kind of
treatment prescribed by others to them. In a way they subject their body to
every possible experiment and finally give way for psychological illness to
take over the physical disease. How can a patient be free from this
psychological illness???
Being aware that the
karma from past lives has a causal effect on diseases in the present life will
prevent a patient from getting anxious and falling prey to psychological
disorders regarding their aliment. Awareness gives the patient the endurance
required to accept the disease and cope with it instead of putting stress on
the mind. The gross body is the perfect vehicle for our physical
experience to fulfill the intention for our life. It is necessary for us to
keep the vehicle in perfect condition always and no doubt there has to be a
constant exercise in this regard. But if the vehicle has developed a minor problem
beyond repair but the engine is running perfect it wise to carry on with it and
not to harass the driver unnecessarily. Well the driver is as important as the
vehicle. It is said that a happy mind has a healthy body ….. Right???????
