The human organism is only an instrument of the Spirit. Health has the quality of being fully usable. This instrument can be used to its fullest extent; it is not blocked. Disease implies block in its use. A healthy flute is one which is quite clear, all its holes are open and it can be used to make any melody to suit the situation. Disease of the flute would be when some of its holes are blocked and so it can play only one or two notes. It cannot be used in all situations but only in those where these notes are operative – it can be used a whistle. The flute that is sick has a compulsion to be used only as a whistle
As officially defined by the World Health Organization, Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
Medical science has defined a “perfectly healthy individual” as one having diseaseless body, happy and poised mind, steady and calm intellect, capacity to differentiate right from wrong, justice from injustice, and to identify the family and social problems. Such an individual must possess capability to wage conflicts without deviating from the path of truth and justice; besides he must possess a mind bent upon accomplishing the work undertaken. Thus Sadhana undertaken to attend the perfect acumen is itself a process of Yoga. One’s own body happens to be the most important instrument to achieve this perfection. Hence it is essential to possess a sound, diseaseless healthy body This whole idea is an integral part of “behavior science” a branch of medical science. Since ancient time, Yogic activity is the prescription to attain perfection in an individual. Thereby the society will remain healthy and thus the countries will also prosper.
Life is replete with conflicts, which are bound to create ups and downs in an individual mind thereby leading to stress. It is but natural that mind and body will be disturbed under stress. It is here that the mind and body trained under ‘Yoga’ will be able to remain healthy and steadfast and thereby be able to confront all the difficult situations in life.
The secret of longevity of a person is his ability to develop the disease fighting capacity (immunity). As a result of an experience of millions of years based on immunity, the human body has acquired a capacity to fight microbes and yet survive. Every cell of the human body is packed with this immune memory. We also know that cell injury is caused by chemical mediators. There is a possibility that control over our internal biochemical environment can be attained by Yogic processes. We have now started understanding that spiritualism, Yoga and Science are all beads of the same rosary and in future it will be possible to arrive at a simple understanding about each of these rosary beads.
More and more people today are choosing to take great responsibility for their own health care rather than relying on a doctor to step in with a cure when something goes wrong. We now recognize that we can influence our health by making improvements in lifestyle, such as a better diet, more exercise, and reduced stress. People are also becoming increasingly aware that there are other healing methods; some of them new, others ancient; that can help preventing illness or be used as a complement to orthodox medicine.
