Negative emotions destroy body mind and soul, Get rid of them as soon as possible

My Dear friend,

The Yearly Guru poornima was celebrated in much more dedicated way and more knowledge has been spread to the common man.I was going through the book which been printed this year and found certain lines which always believed that there is serious correlation between Illness and emotions. Mentor quotes few lines from Norman Vincent peale's book. "The Power of positive Thinking"( I recommend you to buy and make notes of it and go through the each line)  You know, it really makes sense.  Health does link up with stress, as we read in Dr. Norman Vincent Peale's book The Power of Positive Thinking (see forum if you want to read more of the book review / discussion Review of all chapters is here
 ) On p. 152 it was written that

1)"1/3 of all cases of illness in general hospitals are clearly organic in nature and onset, 

2) one third are a combination of emotional and organic,

3)  and one third are clearly emotional"

 4) and that long-held hatred can cause damage to a body to lower resistance and physical deterioration and that grudges ill will and resentment can cause poor health.  "Many people suffer poor health not because of what they eat but from what is eating them. Emotional ills turn in upon yourself, sapping your energy, reducing your efficiency, causing deterioration in your health. And of course they siphon off your happiness", p. 154. So... resentment, fear, anxiety are the culprits and illustrates "the profound effect of mental pain on physical conditions" (p. 155). Dr. Peale even went on to note how recurring colds can even be traced to being angry or feelings of insecurity.Review of all chapters is here

5) Chemical reactions in the body are set up by emotional outburst that result in feeling of ill heath.

6) Long held hatred did his body such damage.

7) Honestly ask yourself if you are harboring any ill will or resentment in grudges and if so cast these out get rid of them without delay.

8) It is necessary to state emphatically that emotional and feelings are quite as real as germs and no less respectable

9) That the bad temper was at the Root of one's chronic cold symptoms (Norman Vincent Peale)

Apart from quoting these lines he describes very important point here that काम,(Lust)  क्रोध (Anger), मद (individual ego),लोभ (Greed) ,मोह (Attachment) these elements are ready to topple this body all times.In addition to these घ्रणा, जलन(fury) , नफरत(hatred) , ईर्ष्या (jealous) will add on Elements which destroys this body. But most important things he explains here that This above mentioned Elements only can attack only if भावना और संवेदना मिल जाते है तो ही (emotion and sense feelings combined together only do the destruction not without it).

He explains further that , when such emotions constantly battle in the heart without en routing them out, they bring chemical changes which results in crippled mind, diseased body.Therefore he concludes that we shouldn't stay with such kind of negative emotions for long and find a way to take it out as soon as possible.

He also suggest the ways out to dispose of these kind of emotions further, which could be very fruitful if know them thoroughly and implement in our life.

In the end Mentor concludes with beautiful parable.

" let Go and Let God"

As children bring their broken toys with tears for us to mend. I brought my broken dreams to God because he is my friend.But then instead of leaving him in peace to work alone. I hung around and tried to help with ways that were my own. At last I snatched them back and cried " How can you be so Slow!

 O My child, He said what could i do? You never did let go

वह हमसे कताई दूर नहीं है.

नमस्ते परम ब्रह्म नमस्ते परमात्मने | 

निर्गुणाय नमस्तुभ्यं सद्रूपय नमो नमः || 

वास्तव में अनेक जन्मों के  पुण्य कर्म ही है जो दिव्य  सत्संग और सतगुरु का संग करनेका  अवसर मिलरहा  है,  संतो का कहना है की ,अनेक जन्मो के संचित कर्मो  का विनाश  होजाता है, अगर हमे  सतगुरु के दर्शन प्राप्त कर सके .

हमारे  सौभाग्य है की उनका अनुग्रह प्रत्यक्ष और अप्रत्यक्ष हमें प्राप्त हो रही .है. 

Flower of life, ज्ञात से अज्ञात ,  में उन्होंने लिखा है की , परमेश्वर कहीं दूर या अज्ञात नहीं है , अपितु हमारे अंग संग के साथी है, यह सत्य है की परमेश्वर का मिलना   आसानी से प्राप्त नहीं होपाता   पर अस्संभव भी  नहीं है , अपने तर्क और विग्यता  से प्रमाणित भी करते है , विभिन्न काल और प्रदेषो के  महापुरुषों  के अनुभव ; ईश्वर के दर्शन होने पर उनकी स्थिती  एक सामान ही है . 

और एक प्रश्न भी करते है ,की क्यों गणि का(prostitute)  और दूसरो पर अधिकार(Tax gatherers) ज़माने वाले अधिकारी  भी स्वर्ग पहुँच रहे,है, पर हम नहीं?

जब की कृष्ण , ईसू ,मोह्माद , गुरु नानक ,कबीर, रविदास ,स्वामी दयानंद ,तुकाराम, गाँधी और बाबाजी जैसे लोग येहां पर आये और हमको सच्चा  मार्ग भी बताया फिर भी हम वाही के वहीँ है. 

आगे जिज्ञासा शांत करते हुए उन्होंने बताया की हमने उनपर सच्चा विशवास कभी किया ही नहीं  और लगातार उनकी अवहेलना करते चले गये. परिणाम स्वरुप यह हुआ की हमारे अन्दर नफ़रत घर कर गयी . नफरत का जहर हमारे शरीर मन और आत्मा को नष्ट करदिया .

शांति और सौहाद्रपूर्ण वातावरण चाहते है तो अपने जीवन में तो नफरत विष घोलना बंद करदें , और आपस में  मिठे शब्दों उच्छारण कर आपस में प्रेम में, एक दुसरे के साथ प्रेम में  रहें क्यों की परमेश्वर हमारे अंग-संग के साथ है हमशा . गुरु नानक जी कहते है 

"साँच काहूँ प्रभू जिन प्रेम कियो 

तिन ही प्रभू पायो "

वह हमसे कताई दूर नहीं है. 

भजन 

गुरु के शब्द में हरदम सुरत  को जो लगाता है 

कभी चक्कर चौरासी में नहीं इंसान आता है ॥ 

यह कहना आरिफों का है,फैसला भी यह ग्रंथो का ,

कभी सेवक वह सतगुरु का,न यम के हाथ जाता है ॥ 

गुरु सेवा गुरु भक्ति, ही है यह नित्य कर्म जिसका,

सदा रत इन ही कर्मो में न गुरुमुख जी चुराता है ॥ 

निरंतर लगन से जपता ,स्वंसों में नाम की माला ,

वह दुर्लभ जन्म मानुष की, कदर कीमत बढ़ता है ॥ 

दास  मन को रूचि जिसके हिदायत जो महापुरुषों की ,

नफस परस्ती के धंधो में , न हीरा तन लुटाता है ॥ 

अब हमें विचार करना है, की जब वह दूर नहीं है तो अपने परिवार में हार्मोनी(harmony) क्यों नहीं है. येहाँ  पर गौतम बुद्धा की बात याद आती है , की 

"A Family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden, But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden".

एक परिवार वोह स्थान है जहां पर विभिन्न मन ( विचार) आपस में टकराते है , अगर उन विचारों में आपस में प्रेम जो जाए तो वह एक सुन्दर बगिया  सा प्रतीत होता है , पर इन विभिन्न मनो में हार्मोनी बिगड़ जाये तो वो एक तूफ़ान की तरह है जो इस बगिया को तेहस -नेहस  करदेता है।

कितनी सुन्दर बात बुद्ध ने बताई है , संतो ने येही बताया है की आपस में मैल बढाओ , मिलजुल कर रहो .


ऋग्वेद की आखरी ऋचा पाठ से अपनी बात समाप्त करता हूँ .



The last Sukta of Rigveda (10.191) summarizes the whole essence of what humans should do to imbibe the Vedas. The entire Vedas have to be understood in context of this Sukta which emphasizes on the most differentiating trait of human beings – unity – in purpose, method and approach. Here is a summary list of the dictates of Vedic religion in this Sukta: Rigveda 10.191.2


Sangchadhvam samvaddhvam sam vo manaansi jaantaam
Devaa bhaagam yathaa purve samjaanaanaa upaasate
- Rig Veda 10.191.2

“Move together, speak together, Let your minds be in unison.”May your thoughts be common, the place of assembly common: common the minds, and hearts of all united, a common purpose and common provisions"



Samaano mantrah samitih samaani, Samaanam manah saha chittmeshaam
Samaanam mantramabhi mantraye vah, Samaanena vo havisha juhomi -RigVeda10.191.3

samaani va aakutih samaanaa hridlyaani vah
samaanamastu vo  mano yathaa vah su sahaasti - Rigveda 10.191.4

The supreme Lord ordains: Let your way of thinking be the same, Let your minds be of one accord, Let your resolutions be the same, Let the commonness of your thoughts bring the co-operation of the highest order.  So those all attain the same goals and have peace and prosperity.


another translation could be like this : -

- walk together in the path of truth without bias, injustice and intolerance
- talk to each other to enhance knowledge, wisdom and affection without malice and hatred
- keep working together to enhance knowledge and bliss
- follow the path of truth and selflessness as exemplified by noble people
Rigveda 10.191.3
- Your analysis of right and wrong should be unbiased and not specific to particular set of people
- You should organize together to help everyone enhance their health, knowledge and prosperity
- Your minds should be devoid of hatred and should see progress and happiness of all as one’s own progress and happiness and you should only act for enhancement of happiness of all based on truth
- Work together to eradicate falsehood and discover truth
- Never ever deviate from path of truth and unity

Rigveda 10.191.4
- Your efforts should be full of enthusiasm and for bliss of everyone
- Your emotions should be for one and all and love everyone the way you love yourself
- Your desire, resolve, analysis, faith, abstinence, patience, keenness, focus, comfort etc all should be towards truth and bliss for all, and away from falsehood.
- Keep working in synergy to increase each others’ knowledge and bliss.
