Location of Disease (The mind stands supreme)
1. To a question – where the
disease is located, the answer normally given is 'body'. We are conditioned to
believe so far over a prolonged period. The reasons for the disease normally
given are:
(a) Bacteria
(Infectious disease); and (b) Constitution (of body)
2. Infectious
disease – If the origin of infection is bacteria
was a true notion, then there appears no valid reason why large number of
people remain unaffected in epidemics. (Because every person is subjected to
the bacteria say air-born-virus, but everybody does not get effected by it) so
besides the 'bacteria' there has to be some other reason.
3. Constitution
– If it is assumed that these with
sound/healthy constitution are not affected by the disease and disease affects
only the weaklings, then we don't find so in practice. Many healthy person
(constitutionally strong/stout) catch up disease and succumb to it. And many
weak (looking) person remain healthy for a long life.
4. Mind, the location.
Thus by a
different path, we arrive at the same conclusion that cause of disease neither
lies in the bacteria, nor in the constitutional factor. It apparently looks
more or less an individual equation and its inter relation between constitution
and bacteria.
According to
many, including some respected doctors, disease on body surface forms merely a
visible expression of the afflicted mind (injured mind).
The force of
mind that plays a role during the state of disease (and also cure process)
makes itself (mind) clearly revealed in many instances.
Faith cure
Magic cure
Psychological cure
So-called
scientific medical practitioners of today, also held indirectly that patient
gets cured because of his faith (and will power also). The 'faith-cure' seen
from age old times also endorses a view that mind must be the fundamental basis of disease as well as cure.
5. What constitutes Mind?
Is it merely the function of the brain? Are the limitations
of the brain are created by mind?
Mind according
to us is the energy that persists in our life.
Explanation
– A still born (dead on birth) child
apparently possesses same features, physique and constitution as a living
child. What then is lacking? Certainly the energy!
Though
eyelids, iris are present, they remain unmoved. The brightness of iris imparted
to it by that energy is absent. (So the difference between a still born and the
living child is energy).
6. None dare
deny that a mere mechanical body or brain cannot produce life. A super-super
model of computer if compared with brain becomes less than preliminary model.
7.
We therefore conclude
7.1 Brain does not solely represent mind. It practically
reflects mind as all parts of the body.
7.2 Brain might
depend upon matter that builds body as a whole. But that body depends on
individual life-giving energy.
This energy is the
same as mind. The reason is simple that the purpose of mind and energy (in
present context, understood as today) remains identical i.e. to shape the
individual.
7.3 If mind was
a function of brain, all intelligent persons would have been strong minded or
healthy. This is not so in actual observation.
7.4 Mind shapes
body, consequently the brain. Mind keep it healthy (brain-body) till the
purpose of particular life comes to an end.
7.5 Only the
equivalence of mind and life-energy explains satisfactorily the causation or
elimination of disease. Doctors also agree this in case of about 90% of the
diseases.
7.6 When body
of a man, which lives for fifty years, starts decaying and decomposing, then
doctor can prevent the damage for say 50 hours. Not beyond (a certain limit).
Then who protected the man for fifty years from the occasional diseases?
The energy of
mind kept the decay away for fifty years. When the Nature puts aside the
charter of energy, the end cannot be avoided.
7.7
The brain dependent mind is a mechanical view and not justified.
7.8 Mind is
undeniably considered an essential absolute and distinct from the body. This
view is held by many thinkers as well as scientists. However, both the
components (mind and brain) continue an undistinguishable whole (one)
throughout the life.
If the view
that mind or thought springs from the functioning of the brain were true,
scientists would have rushed to set right brain instead of mind.
'Mind' can be
called by different names (mental faculties, consciousness, thoughts, etc.) but
we are using the word 'mind' as it is commonly understandable.
8.
The mind stands supreme. Mind causes life as well as death.
Hence, a great medical authority wondered whether the shock of Napoleon victory
at Austerlitz killed Pitt rather than any disease (We also see how a blowing
mental agony totally ruins a healthy person overnight).
