"Brahman or the eternal is infinite. His expressions are also infinite. Allopathy, homeopathy, hydropathy, chromopathy, electropathy, naturopathy, ayurveda, unani, all are his manifestations. All these systems differ. Temperaments also are different, so are natures. Therefore different systems of treatment suit people of different natures.

It is only the prejudiced man who says,'Oh, allopathy is useless - homeopathy is the best system'. Or,'Nature cure is good and ayurveda is bad'. For some people ayurvedic medicines are good, for some unani medicines are good, and so on.

Sun's rays, water, herbs, green leaves, steam, mud - all are medicines. They are all products of nature. Only the names are different. The very fact that different systems exist shows that
there is something good in each.

Even atoms, molecules and corpuscles have their loves and hates, likes and dislikes, attractions and repulsions, affinities and non- affinities. Everybody has his own whims and fancies, his own eccentricities.

A naturopath hates and condemns an allopath. An allopath dislikes naturopathy. But a large-hearted doctor, a man with equal-vision and tolerance, who has practical knowledge of vedanta, can find good in every system. He can appreciate the beauty of variety of divine
expression. He can behold unity in diversity and thus use every system to the best advantage.

Every system has its own advantage and bright side. Every system has come from the one divine source. Do not fight with one another. Do not try to prove the superiority of your system.

Take the good in everything. Be tolerant. Become wise and happy. Lead a healthy life. Attain God-realisation through the instrument of the body - the healthy, strong body.

If you have a powerful will and a strong power of endurance, then you will not feel pain. By constant thinking of disease, pain and trouble, you augment the suffering. Pain is in the mind. Atman is full of bliss."

    Pure excellence Cynthia !

    As the cetaceans have told me in dreams,
    we'll help you realize, how six billion wrongs
    can be one right.

    As if every sentient being is a healing agent.

      ~Thank you for the timely reminder, Cynthia.

      I am Thee and Thou art I
      Breath of my breath
      Light of Your light
      And the thousand things
      That arise therein

      When I have a klunky experience with 'another' I wish to forget this truth. How can I be at all connected to this One who hurts or irritates me? Then I sit, and remember and accept the truth once again. Get up and move along the Path :)
