Meditation/Bodily illness - Karmic illness
Question
Dhananjay, hi
I had another doubt, when meditating, if one concentrates on the beat of the heart, does that in any way take away any benefits that would accrue or is that the right way to go or ? ?
From reading one of your past posts, you mention about karmic illness. How does one discern between normal illness and karmic illness?
Thanks Dhananjay, Manish
Answer
1. Merging ones lower self (mind, intellect, consciousness & Ego) into the Atman (individualized concept of the Almighty) is the meditation for Brahmacharya and self-realization. No other meditation need be practiced, for none is superior to this method.
2. A bodily illness generally occurs further to some external factor affecting the body (such as wrong food, wrong lifestyle or activity, contamination etc..) An example would be an upset stomach further to eating unclean/contaminated food.
A Karmic illness arises all of a sudden, with no apparent/noticeable reason, despite right food, lifestyle and activity. Here, the underlying Karmasaya (seed of past karma) attracts the particular medium (bacterium/virus or some other causator) responsible to effect disease and suffering.
