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
