Illness and Healthiness
What is illness? Why it is? Research about this has been going on since immemorial times. The reason of illness which is found today, that changes tomorrow. The medicine which is considered appropriate today, that becomes wrong tomorrow. The abstinence being told today, is criticized next day. Therefore uptil today diseases have not ended. The diseases of physical bodies were treated in the past in the Ayurvedic method. Slowly faith on the Ayurvedic method began to cease. Then Unani method came in vogue, but it could not become trustworthy for more time. Then Allopathic method science at such a high level, people are so much afflicted as they were earlier. In some countries efforts are being made to overcome diseases by homeopathic and Naturo-pathy methods. But the diseases are not coming to an end. The medical stores are overflowing with medicines, but the human bodies are filling with diseases.
By the time a new medicine is investigated to treat the old diseases, a new disease comes to surface by then. The problem remains as usual. Every era has its own disease.
Sometimes back all cities used to be ruined by plague. This horrible disease has been overcome. Countless children used to become crippled and blind due to smallpox. This disease is not incurable. Then Typhoid fever ruled for some special time. It used to leave only when the sick person is ready to leave for the next world. That which was a fatal and incurable disease, is now under control. It is cured in four to five days. The diseases of the present time's are heart trouble, sugar and cancer. These are not coming under control.
It seems that roots of diseases are present in the sub-conscious mind. If the branch of one disease is cut, then a new branch comes out. In this way, treatment of this disease is started, but by this time a branch of another disease grows. This series goes on for the whole life.
Prescribe such a remedy,
by which all sorts of illness may be cured.
{SGGS, p 1279}
Which is this medicine and where is it available? Gurbani tells us:
The Naam is the panacea, the remedy to cure all ills.
{SGGS, p274}
This is not a poetic thought that all diseases are cured by Naam Simran (Meditation) but it is a truth.
If by taking a medicine, pain is still there or there is a possibility for its recurrence, then that medicine is not a medicine.
Gurbani-Wak:
The pain persists, and the body continues to suffer.
