    SECTION 1

    KNOW YOUR BODY

    Chapter 1

    BODY, MIND & SOUL

    Abody is needed for inner health and growth of the ‘self’; shariramadyam khalu dharmasadhanam. We must have control over our senses for real health. He who has little control over his senses can hardly remain healthy. In the Gita Lord Krishna said that the sense organs wish to enjoy every pleasure. Such pleasant things are the real cause of pain. Whatever we see is mortal. A wise man will not prefer those worldly pleasures:

    Bhoktāram yagyatapasām sarvalokamaheshwaram

    Suhridam sarvabhutānām gyātwā mām

    shāntimprichchhati.

    The Gita 5:29

    We aim at remaining healthy and happy; and to excel simultaneously in many fields. We usually claim to be experts, which we, ordinarily are not. The ego in us makes us the expert, and the superiority complex compels us to give advice even to real experts. We are really expert in searching out the weaknesses, and to en-cash it.

    But we don’t know the fundamental facts about our body, our mind, the functioning of our organs, the system as a whole; and the most important thing The Elements. We attach little importance to them and are never shy of wasting or polluting them. When we pollute or waste the elements, we are destroying ourselves. Our forefathers were great and wise that they saved them.

    Our ill health is the result of our inhuman thought and unhealthy food. We care little for our body or mind. We go for junk food and have developed unhealthy habits while the fact is that ‘the purity of self depends on the purity of food, āhārashudhhou satwasuddhi. Purity is the only way otherwise no one will be satisfied after living a sensuous life.

    Negligence and Misery

    The human body is created with the elements which have a lot of influence over our body, mind and physical well being. A slight negligence can cause immense damage and generate untold misery. One can see physically handicapped people everywhere: men, women and children. Why has the number of physically handicapped grown to such dangerous proportion. It’s only because of the negligence towards the life-giving and preserving elements. It will be too late; if we are not awakened now. A normal child or a normal man could be a rare sight. It will be difficult to live and behave in normal way. There is another effect of the negligence of the elements. Most of the people are behaving in abnormal fashions: mothers are killing their children; fathers are killing their sons; sons are killing their fathers; brothers are notorious in shooting their brothers; servants are killing masters and vice versa; doctors are killing, patients and guardians are killing the doctors; students are killing their teachers and teachers are beating students to death; misbehaviors are common things; wives are killing husbands and vice versa. Stop and think what is wrong with man?

    Unfortunately, we are living in an age completely dominated by science and technology. Everyone is running after materialism. In this race they are losing vital elements and all important vitality. In exchange they are getting unheard diseases. We have lost contact with fresh and pure elements; sacred and divine scriptures; inner purity and spirituality. Nature and natural habits have lost their significance. Clearly, it’s perversion but we are claiming it to be modernity; and that we are living a fast life; of course without life.

    All the factories and machines are robbing off life, affecting health by polluting air and water; snatching away our creativity and inflicting injuries to our organs. We have lost our mental peace and equilibrium. The indecent ads are adding a lot to demolish the established norms but we are not as yet ready to awaken and be conscious; and to make our conscience the real guide.

    We are breaking the structure and system on which Nature and life stand while opting for radiations which are coming to us with ‘electronic equipments’. It’s all because we don’t heed to the teachings of our forefathers who laid a lot of stress on Bahyabhyantar shuchih: inner and outer cleanliness and purity. Only right type of clean atmosphere can ensure health and help in sustaining life. All of us are suffering from certain disease and most of us are suffering from chronic diseases. It’s all because of imbalance in Nature and natural elements.

    Controlling Body for Greater Energy

    The whole universe is a configuration of triple energy or triple form or tri qualities. Human beings also have this ‘tri’ in possession so human life is tri-basic or tri-farious or tri-facial: a combination of three distinct qualities, form or energy called: Body; Mind and Soul. But these three are distinct, not replaceable by one another.

    There is another tri; tri-guna, tri-qualities: Tamas, Rajas and Sattva that deals with lower, middle and higher character; mundane, royal and pure; physical, mental and spiritual. It shapes the mind, character, growth and progress of a person. It determines one’s yearning and also the changes that occur.

    But the tragedy is that most people fail to use their physical power; don’t realize the power of the mind; and barring a few don’t even think about the soul and its abundant power and divine significance.

    The Body

    We always grow from inside. Everything grows from inside. All the outer growth is from inside. All separate entities have come out of one entity. The space is the greatest creation. There won’t be dimensions without space. Only the outer growth is seen and the inner growth is missed. The hands, legs or nails and skin come out because of the subtle and concrete growth from inside. They are not outer parts but are called so. They are as much inner parts as heart, lungs, kidneys or brain. They grow and function in accordance with the system or systems. They are not stitched from outside. They become longer, thicker or more solid only from inside. We always grow from inside.

    The growth seems to be in fraction or parts but it is not so. We are divided in infinite fractions. Modern scientists call them cells, which is given the power and agility to grow on its own, as Brahman divided His self into infinite fraction for both subtle and concrete growth. So, every existing thing or being is like Brahman, has the subtle and concrete forms and spirit, soul or self; and works and grows; and has purpose and pursuits to follow. We are all like Him; we are all like Brahman. The Rishis knew it and taught us: yat brahmande tat pinde; whatever is there in the universe, it is also there in the body. We don’t realize and we don’t think.

    The existence or the God or the Godliness in existence decides the purpose or pursuit; the ways, the means and makes the self to grow, and leads the soul to enlightenment or destruction or peril.

    Our Possessions

    Our body is not all that we possess. Body is only the outer garb for inner life; Prāna Tatva, the living spirit and soul. Besides the physical body we possess an immensely powerful ‘Spiritual Self’; that is life and ‘I’ of each person. In Indian Scriptures physical body is an instrument for realizing, spiritual body called Ātmā and through it the Param Ātmā. Usually that spiritual self resides in its pristine self. We have to find it, see it, feel it, awaken it and make it manifest. One who knows his Ātmā is in possession of a
