I always tell people, 'I' means illness. And, 'We' means wellness. I was a single cell when I was made in the mother’s womb, called Zygote. That cell went on dividing. I am now a colony of 120 trillion human cells. Individually they are all human beings and they are happy together, loving and dancing. They love themselves and they love others.
Read the book ‘anatomy of an illness’, by Norman Cousins, you will come to know how the diseases can be cured with your own mind. When God sent you here, he didn't expect any doctor to be there to give you medicines . He said there must be a doctor inside. He gave an immune system and this is the one which keeps you alive. And that is the one which cures you of a disease, not we doctors.
Ancient wisdom is much more powerful than the modern western science. Science that we are talking today is not curiosity, it has become Religion. It has become so dogmatic. Today science means to wtite a paper and get it published. But really knowledge advances not by repeating what is known, but by refuting what is dogmatic.
K.J.Thomson in 1907 got Nobel Prize for saying that elections are particles. Thirty years later his own son , P.J.Thomson said they are waves , he also got the Nobel Prize. In 1925 Warner Heisenberg said uncertainty principle, absolutely right and he got the Nobel Prize. In 1932, Shrodinger said, they are wavical, they are waves and particles, he also got the Nobel Prize. But nobody has seen the electron in the bargain.
Just because you have not seen God, that doesn't mean that God doesn't exist. When you go above yourself, you will realize God.
Today Americans if they say science, we believe it. If I were to say, Ayurveda is a science, you will not believe it. What is Science, it is a Golem (scare crow) . And science has become a greater religion than all the religions put together.
Read this book 'science set free'. It is written by V Roopert Sheldrick from Cambridge. He says science is under clutches. Set it free. Then only you can progress. Science has become more dogmatic than the Religion.
What is Religion. To Join again. It takes you back to your roots. In yoga Patanjali said, you become God. Chitta, Vrutti, Nirodhaha is Yoga. I always tell my students, keep a child's heart in you. You will never die, you will never age, you will never become big.
Alexis carrel, a Nobel laureate, surgeon, wrote, every new borne child is a genius only to be converted into an idiot in schools. In school, you want everybody to be the same. During Industrial Revolution, you wanted only unquestioning, unthinking people to work in the factory. That is the educational system and that we inherited from British. We left our education system, the real yogic system, the gurukul system. In school we make them Robo's.
