"Spiritual Take on Health"
I had to visit my physician the other day. There was an excruciating ache in my throat, a continuous stinging pain, which got magnified when I swallowed, or even by just moving my neck. I have had a sore throat before, but this was different. I had also been running fever along with this "pain in the neck". Such was its acuteness, that it often caused difficulty in speaking and eating or drinking was a torture.
I was diagnosed with mild infection of a God-forsaken organ in my throat called tonsils. I am on heavy medication right now, but let me get to what i want to write about, enough of jumping around.
I came across an old newspaper clipping recently on my mom's study, a clipping dated "24/11/2006" , from Hindustan Times, column Inner voice, which contained an article titled "Spirtual take on Health", authored by Sh. Sat Pal Arora. It is a profound article and certainly food for thought. Given Below is the gist.
Half of our diseases come from the neglect of our body and the over work of the brain(I like this!). We live longer than our forefathers, but we suffer more from a thousand artificial anxieties and cares. They fatigued their muscles, we exhaust the finer strength of our nerves.
The body is a divine gift and we are morally bound to keep it sound and strong. So never hurry and take up plentiful exercise, try to be cheerful and get all the sleep you need and you may expect to be well. (I like this too!)
There are two temporal blessings- health and money. Money is the most envied but the least enjoyed. Health is the most enjoyed but the least envied. Everyone should be his own physician. We need to assist and not force nature. Nothing is good for the body but what we can easily digest.
What medicine can improve digestion? Exercise.
What will boost strength? Sleep.
What will alleviate deadly evils? Patience.
Don't make a dustbin out of your stomach.
Perfect health, physical soundness and rugged strength are seen only where nature is the cook, necessity is the caterer and where they have no other doctor but the sun and fresh air. An old adage goes :

Health is no doubt the least envied and the most enjoyed
