Health Is Wealth-2

Am attempt was made to write about physical health and metal health in the last post.
This post is devoted to intellectual health.
Intellect has three main diseases, ... ignorance, doubt and misconceptions about everything.
The intellect always tends to doubt everything.'Aggyana, Sanshaya, Viparyaya'(ignorance,doubt and misconception)
One of the major doubts is about our Goal in Life and the means.It is very,very important to know our goals clearly, and the means to attain our goals is through reading scriptures. This is mentioned in Udhava Gita
Reasoning and perception are the two eyes and the third eye (where we put the tilakam or pottu) is Veda.
We need to understand that science is not against Veda and similarly Veda is not against science.By the study of scriptures we will learn about the three eyes Shruti, Yukti and Anubhava(scriptures, reasoning and perception.)We need to integrate the three to know about the means and the end.
A healthy intellect is clear about the means and end.

At this point I am reminded of talk s by Sri Sri where he talks about how the intellect works:

Sri Sri says in his talks 'if you observe the intellect it always doubts the positive things, to quote an example; if someone comes up to you and says "I love you",the immediate reply most of the time would be "really'??The negatives on the other hand are accepted without any doubt and question, this is how the intellect works.If someone comes to you and tells you "you look clumsy in that dress,"we generally tend to accept that and then keep brooding over it and sulk and feel depressed about someone's opinion.
In order to change this pattern it is important I think that we read scriptures, be in satsanghs,do pranayam and yoga.
Once we have physical ,mental and intellectual health then success is ours for sure.
Let us all strive to achieve and accomplish the four goals Dharma, Artha, Kama&Moksha...
Let us strive to improve our physical, mental and intellectual health by doing all the require sadhanas...

It is a belief that Surya Baghwan is the bestower of good health,fame and efficient management....so let us pray to Surya Baghwan...

Stay tuned........



Jai Guru Dev!!
