THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
Illness is caused more by malnutrition of the mind than of the body. As
doctors speak of vitamin deficiency, I will present the root-cause in similar
lines as 'Deficiency of Vitamin G'. To cure this, I will recommend the
repetition of any Name of God, along with contemplation of His Glory and Grace
of God. That is the medicine to overcome the Vitamin G deficiency. Regulated
life and habits are two-thirds of the treatment while medicine contributes to
one-third. Every one of you must reveal the qualities of love, humility,
detachment and contentment through all your actions. When your mind is
unattached to the ups and downs of life, but is able to maintain equanimity
under all circumstances, your physical health will be excellent.
