Lack of Love
Do we Love our Body?
Once we start to love the
body as one loves the self we will have no illness. We deceive ourselves.
We get divided. The I as the mind and the I as the body.
This split is the cause of disease. This split hinders healing. Healing is
the process to bridge the gap in this split - to unite the body and the
mind. We eat unhealthy food. That is due to the split in our spirit. The
mind feels happy but not the body. The body growls in pain but the mind
enjoys the taste. Here is the split.
How
does this
split happen?. What is good is that which is good for
both. SPIRIT IS THAT SENSE IN WHICH THE BODY AND THE MIND ARE THE SAME.
THERE IS NO SPLIT. THIS SENSE OF ONENESS IS SPIRITUALITY.
When the dual nature of the mind and body are present,
separately, there is disease. Both the mind and the body are not at ease.
The sense of oneness is absent. If this gap is not taken care of then
either the mind or the body divorces the other. Both then start to
function as if they are independent of each other.
Healing is the
reunion of the mind and body and the restoration of spirit. When
one lacks the union of the mind and the body one lacks spirit. This leads
to depression and all the problems and physical symptoms of the illness of
the psyche.
This split between mind and body leads to the loss of homeostasis which is
involved in maintaining the balance of the body. Imagine a family where
the mother and father are fighting; imagine the state of the children! We are
not talking here about split personality. Here, we mean to talk about the
interconnectedness between our body and mind.
Loving a Car
If one loves a car, it is not just
the love of the exterior alone. One takes care of the interior of the car
as well.
One will not adulterate or put any impurity in the oil because one knows
that would cause serious trouble in the functioning of the car. We take care that
there should be no dust in the gasoline, otherwise the carburetor
will be blocked and the car will not start. We should have the same
attitude in the
case of the food we intake. We should take care not to put any junk into our system.
All the harmful things we eat block various
processes in the body. And give rise to Disease.
We should maintain our body as we maintain our car. Therefore, regular cleaning of the body should be done
like we take our car to the garage for regular servicing.
