WHAT YOU CALL PAIN🔗

The natural healing

Let me tell you a small experience which happened in my life after enlightenment. I jammed my thumb in a car door. The thumb started swelling. The people were running here and there to get some first aid done. I said, 'Relax.' I was able to see very clearly the energy from the manipuraka - navel center - flowing to the pain area. It was just flowing to that part. The healing process was happening because the energy was gushing from all over my body to that area. The usual energy supply to the other fingers and other parts of the body had stopped. Just like if an ambulance gets on the road how all the other cars pull over and give way for it, because emergency is prevailing in the pain area, the energy flow to all other centers are disconnected. I could see very clearly the energy flowing from the navel center to that place. I was just witnessing the whole thing. After an hour, I just removed the jammed fingernail and threw it away. 10 days after that, the nail grew back. Throughout the process, neither was there pain nor was any medicine given. Of course I am not asking you to do this, but what I want to say is: whatever process you call as pain is nothing but the healing process, the body healing itself through energy gushing to the hurt area. The body is reconstructing that part. But you don't have that much of patience to allow it to happen. You just name it as pain. The moment you name that process as pain, please understand that you stop that process. You disturb that natural healing process...

Paramahamsa

Be clear - when you cook, you not only put in the ingredients, you also put your thoughts into the food. Your thoughts play a major role in all your deeds. Two physicists conducted the same experiment on a person with the same instruments at the same temperature but the reports showed different readings! It proves that thoughts play an important role in all your deeds. The great saint Ramanuja says, 'Never eat the food even touched by an enemy or by the wrong person.' Don't think that thoughts are dead energies. They are live energies. So never disturb your cook or driver. Keep them in a good mood. Even if you cook, have the Divine name in your thoughts or at least have good thoughts. Then, you will see that all the members of your family have good health. You will have no stomach problem. When you are eating outside of your house, meditate for a few minutes and send positive energy to the food before you eat it. You will have no problem. Your body will feel light.
