Vedanta - Good Health and Cheer
KIRAN BEDI
|
I experienced the visible language of life recently when I was down with viral fever and severe chest congestion. I was completely dependent upon others to even get up on my feet. Because of the intensive care I received at home, I bounced back to good health within a reasonable period of time.I went through a number of check-ups concerning my vital organs. When each one turned out to be in good shape, I felt I was relearning and revising the lessons of life. I'd like to share some of the lessons I relearned with those who are taking certain gifts of life for granted, like perhaps I was.
Good physical health is a val uable gift of nature. Posi tion, power, status and acquisitions tend to lose their mean ing if we are not blessed with energetic health.
Once we recognise that energetic physical health is the greatest possession we have, we will not go about abusing it deliberately . But by using this gift carefully and rightly , we can heighten our awareness of all that we do and find different ways of using our energy .With this heightened awareness, we will not readily consume anything that might hurt the system.
The mind is that part of the body that makes physical energy intelligible and gives it its worth. One of the noblest and purest ways of expressing our gratitude for good health is to serve humankind with whatever resources we have.And what better way to begin than by serving the sick?
