UNDERSTANDING SICKNESS
A spiritual attitude towards sickness in to see it as a result of your own
past actions. This; is due to law of karma, which states that whatever
your situation is today, it is the result of what your have done yesterday.
These actions may have been performed in the immediate past, or the far
distant one. If you can accept responsibility in this way and your heart
knows how to stay in the remembrance of God, then you will gain such
power that even a major physical illness will not affect your ability to
cope. Mountains are reduced to molehills. Without proper
understanding the reverse is true and even a tiny physical
complaint seems something enormous.
Spiritual understanding teaches you how to perform actions so as to
guarantee yourself a healthy future. It makes you realise the
importance of performing good actions as these result in a good future.
For example, you can bring a lot of subtle energy and strength to
yourself if you engage your body, mind and wealth in the service of
humanity. An adverse affect, on the other hand, is produced when these
same things are used in negative way.
