"True Health & True Healing"

True Health is simply that disposition of perfect Awakening in which the conditions of the body-mind are no longer encumbrances, but they exist essentially in their natural state, no longer having the power to delude the consciousness or apparently separate it from the intuition of the Truth of its own condition. The consideration of health is only secondarily about physical well-being. It is primarily about God-Communion, or realizing the disposition that is utterly free of the limitations of the mechanics of the body-mind, left and right and at the center. It is essentially a matter of whole body Awakening, in which the Transcendental Disposition stands free. That is true health. It is also Bodily Enlightenment. Enlightenment and true health are the same thing.

True healing must involve the one being healed, so that after the healing takes place, he enjoys a greater level of responsibility for his total psycho-physical life. Any process that does not involve such a transformation of the one being healed is not really healing at all. It may have removed some symptoms for a while, so that the individual can return to the activities of his ordinary life, but unless he has realized a new level of responsibility, he will only do the same things he did before. He will develop another symptom, and another, and finally one that will kill him.

"ATMA - The Living Reality"

Making the Atma a living reality 'Everything is there in the Atma. It has to be intellectually investigated, decided, and made a living reality. And this is living that one ordainment of the Vedic [knowledge]: Atma va are Drashtavyah Shrotavyah Mantavyah Nididhyasitavyah; Atma va are shrotavyah : ''Atma is worthy of hearing.'' You hear about Atma from the embodiment of Atma, the embodiment of Brahm, Guru Dev. 'Atma va are drashtavyah: ''You see it, you see it. You see the unseen, intellectually comprehend it.'' Atma va are drashtavyah shrotavyah mantavyah: we get down to this level of the senses, and the level of the mind, Mantavyah. Nididhyasitavyah, and the level of intellect where you can distinguish and decide; and the level of Being where you rise to Aham Vishvam , ''I am the Vishva, I am the universe.''
