this body has trillions of reactions going on within it as you are all aware
if something goes wrong that creates disease disease results in misery in
suffering and distress that misery and suffering goes against our nature we
wish to do away with it and that gives rise to the need for the medical
profession in the grand scheme of things disease also has a purpose this divine
intelligence that has created this miraculous body could have easily
adjusted it such that disease was much less or not at all
we see the eagle which has such powerful eyes flying at the height of 10,000 feet
it is able to survey which creature is moving and which has stopped moving so
possibly life has gone out of it we see the nose of the dog which is able to
pick up a few atoms of smell similarly if that was the intent of the divine
intellect the body could have just been adjusted to either reduce or eliminate
disease if disease has been permitted as a part of this scheme called the human
body it is there for a purpose it is not the problem it is the symptom of the
problem like for example if you put your hand
into the fire two things will happen firstly you will experience pain
secondly the hand will start burning the pain is not a bad thing the burning of
the hand is a bad thing if the pain did not occur we would not know the hand is
burning and we would not take it out as we know in the disease called leprosy
what happens is only this much that the part becomes insensitive and hence it
starts getting damaged so similarly disease is a symptom of something deeper
Aveda divides diseases into two parts it says
some are garbage and some are dosage karmic diseases are those that are
coming from our karma karma actions that we performed in the past of which we
have to reap the consequences they are part of our destiny as you sow that
shall you also reap so there is a karma that we are all carrying and some
diseases are coming by karma the other kind of diseases are called
dosage they are coming for various reasons from our actions from our
lifestyle from our eating patterns from our working styles from our thoughts etc
in other words in some way we have been involved in creating them now car much
diseases you cannot do much about them when that karma is burnt
the disease will disappear nevertheless we do not know which disease is dosage
and which is car much supposing somebody is ill and attributes it to one's
destiny that person will not endeavor for a cure it's possible if he or she
had tried to cure it it may have got cured
so our Veda says don't assume anything as Karma's you endeavor but the results
are not in yours are the doctors hands that is why after having put in your
efforts when you get the results be contented so the doctor will treat it is
he who will cure
you
