Passage 9

In English

Roga And

Man is afflicted with “” (the disease of the world). Suppose we are afflicted with the disease of hunger (“Akali Roga”), the medicine for this disease is “Anna” (food). When you take “Anna” (food), the disease of “Akali” (hunger) is cured. We consider food as an enjoyment. We consider having a sumptuous dinner with a variety of dishes as a great enjoyment. No, no. Food must be taken only as a medicine for the disease of hunger. Man believes, out of his arrogance, that he is enjoying the pleasures. In fact, this is not an enjoyment; this is only a suffering arising out of the disease. Realising this truth, man must protect his body (Deha) till he recognises the Indweller (). We are doing all our only through the body. We are learning all knowledge only through the body. We are recognising the uniqueness of Divinity only through the body. Therefore, we must always try to realise the (Divinity) through the Deha (body).
