Divine Words of wisdom by Sathya Sai Baba – On Health and healthcare

1. Health confers salvation or liberation, so protect your health Your browser does not support the audio element. 1983-10-08 Document Download Audio Social Share Facebook Twitter Youtube Instagram Description Embodiments of love! All said and done, the summary of Swami’s talk is that health is of primary importance. For what purpose does one require health? It is required for experiencing the bliss of the soul, “atmananda”. One must never forget these two aspects. Man’s health is useless if he cannot experience atmananda. Such bodies which have health and strength, but do not experience bliss of the soul are a burden to the earth. One must realise the truth about oneself and enquire about one’s identity. Of what use is one’s existence when one cannot know the truth about oneself? Therefore one should not try to distinguish the spiritual and worldly experiences but bring them together to realise one’s true nature and to experience the divine bliss. One must develop love that is innate in every human and must never give scope to narrow-mindedness. One’s behaviour must not harm or hurt others for then alone one’s human life is sanctified.   2.

One can know the cause upon pondering on it properly. Some might say that eating beetle leaves causes cancer; some say that smoking cigarettes and beedis causes cancer, yet others say that pollution causes cancer—all these contribute to cancer but are not the primary reason for causing cancer. When deeply enquired one finds that the real reason for occurrence of cancer is –sugar! Commercial sugar is made out of many chemicals. Powder of the bones is one of them. This content gets lodged in any part of the body causing a particular block. Blood has two types of cells namely the red blood cells and the white blood cells. Clogging of the white blood corpuscles at a particular point is the spot for cancer. This condition is called as “Lukoma”. This is the most important ingredient of cancer. In this lukoma the primary disadvantage of sugar, the chemical, adds up. Doctors today say that people who eat beetle leaves or those that smoke get cancer. But aren’t there many who do not do either but are still affected by cancer? The pollutants in air, water and in food only aid the cancer, but the primary cause for its occurrence is sugar. In olden days, the sugar was not decorated with such false make-ups. People used to use jaggery or powdered jaggery and were never affected by such diseases. But today everything is polluted and is artificial. Resorting to dubious ways to amass wealth and mint money, people are inviting such dangerous diseases. What for is the money when man himself is not there? Isn’t man more important than wealth?   5. We need to take foods which give strength: All Vitamins and proteins are needed for body Your browser does not support the audio element. 1983-10-08 Document Download Audio Social Share Facebook Twitter Youtube Instagram Description Life sustaining food that is nourishing and nutritious must be eaten. But in this world under the influence of modern civilized lifestyle, people are eating food that is devoid of innate nourishment. This body requires proteins and vitamins A, B, C, D and E etc. One vitamin gives good sight to the eyes, one gives strength to the blood, one vitamin sustains the bones but for all this proteins are a must. It is called “protein” because it protects. One can sustain oneself longer if one has more of protein. Of all the food items the ones that contains more protein is the food that is uncooked and available naturally. A variety of pulses like green gram etc are used extensively even by the foreigners. Soya beans are also one of the grains that are used. Ground nut is called as ‘Indian soya beans’! It is rich in protein. What does one do with the pulses? One uses it in making sambar and rasam by cooking it thoroughly thereby depleting it of its life force and eating the same. For example the green gram or the Lobia beans – give more protein when they are eaten after being soaked in water. But man, being a victim to his palate and taste, eats it after cooking it with tamarind, oil, salt, etc and a result depriving him of the nourishment naturally available in them. Fruits too contain vitamins. Vegetables, too, give a lot of strength.   6. To maintain good health we need to maintain good diet: Weight loss is a must for maintaining good health Your browser does not support the audio element. 1983-10-08 Document Download Audio Social Share Facebook Twitter Youtube Instagram Description A person has blood pressure. In the wake of the blood pressure, this person becomes a victim of diabetes. In the medical parlance it can be said that the blood pressure and diabetics are twins- one follows the other. It is a peculiar thing that when medicine for diabetes is taken blood pressure increases and when medicine for blood pressure is taken, diabetes increases. These two are a pair of opposites.
