BHAGAWAN'S VISIT TO THE SUPER SPECIALITY HOSPITAL

PRASANTHINILAYAM

26/12/2004Highlights of Bhagawan's DiscourseEmbodiments of Love,For the body,

health is very important. This in turn is dependent on the food and drink we

partake. There is no dearth of health in this hospital. However it is very

important that we should also have happiness while we pursue work here. In

comparison to other hospitals our hospital gives opportunities for pursuing

both health and happiness. Mana Eva Manushyanaam Kaaranam Bandha Mokshayoho -

Mind is the reason for both attachment and detachment. When your mind is

relaxed all other happiness follows. Arogyam Moolamuthamam - Health is the most

important and noble thing. In today's world the food we eat, the water we drink

and the air we breathe have all become polluted. Food and drink are directly

responsible for the deterioration of health.

No doubt, food is an essential thing for health especially in that the food we

eat affects the feelings we develop. There is no point in simply stating lofty

goals if you do not take concrete measures to achieve them - at least the first

steps should be taken.A Verse in Telugu: (Even if you have wealth and property

and righteousness, you are miserable if you do not have children;Even if you

are highly academically qualified, if you do not have a job you feel

miserable)In today's circumstances, one does not get both and if you need both

you should have both Positive and Negative within. Sadly we see only negative

feelings within today's man. It becomes our bounden duty to seek and develop

positive within. Our senses are getting battered by only polluted items

....naturally it affects the physical health also...Vaidyo Narayano

Hari....there needs to be unity of thought word and deed while we perform our

duties as doctors....when there is dichotomy in thought and word or word and

deed we get negative feelings within...Doctors also must cleanse their hearts

with Holy and Divine feelings...in this Visaala Prapancham (wide world) one

needs to develop Visaala Bhaavam (Positive feelings and Broad vision) to banish

negativity ....one must distinguish between the physical heart and the HRIDAYA (

inner spiritual heart).Generally, you do not find doctors and nurses having the

same type of approach ...however in our hospital all are working with a unity

of purpose...no doubt the external world does affect the desires and feelings

of nurses and doctors...When you are working here, do not allow outside

influences to affect your mind...development of one's own self is a natural

process...to attribute one's happiness, progress or prosperity to outside

influences, one's own knowledge in the field or the education one has; is a

kind of innocence...A Telugu Verse again: One reads a lot...becomes a great

academic in his field ...yet he does not know himself;How much ever one becomes

educated he does not lose his meanness;If you analyze, higher one gets educated,

higher is the level of argumentation and lesser is the wisdom;What is the point

in struggling so much for studying ...one should study that which would

liberate us!!Human life is very expansive. Then why do we give place to narrow

mindedness...Past is past it will not come back...Future is not sure...Present

is very important...this is not an ordinary present....this is

OMNIPRESENT...one needs to develop all types of positive feelings in this

Present to enjoy happiness and bliss...one needs to always discriminate between

the good and bad feelings one experiences...accept only that which is elevating

and gives you bliss and reject the negative feelingsThere is no dearth of

facilities in our Hospital...we are not expecting any commercial returns from

this Hospital...you are aware that running a Hospital is a costly

affair...there are many who build Hospitals for the sake of returns...we also

seek returns...what type of returns...we want healthy outcomes...truly there is

no other wealth than health......Embodiments of Love....I want you to understand

that the differences in the physical frames you see is not the truth...Truth is

that the Atma within all of you is the Same...there may be many bulbs (bodies)

but the current within is the same (like the Atma within)...when the LOVE which

is within all of you is the same then where is the question of differences...it

may be that you have different types of feelings towards you mother, your

father, brother sister...but the Atma within is the same...when you develop

this equimindedness, you will enjoy inexhaustible Bliss and Health too...Many

of you eat your food very fast....you should partake food slowly and with good

feelings in your heart...we should banish all bad feelings while eating

food...individuals as such do not have the digestive power...we pray

"Brahmarpanam..." before we eat and the answer we get is that "Aham Vaiswanaro

Bhoothva..."i.e God Himself is helping in digesting the food you

eat....therefore you should eat food with good thoughts in your heart...there

are three types of feelings in man ...Swaartham (selfishness) Swa Artham (for

personal purposes) and Paraartham (for other's sake)...it is natural for

everyone to have some selfishness...yet one should strive to develop some

amount of selflessness too...."Help Ever...Hurt Never". ..as much as possible

you should try to help others...medicines have their own role in recovery of a

patient but the feeling with which it is given is more important.....man has

Will Power from top to toe...this Will Power is nothing but God's own

power....without this Divine Power, man cannot take even one step

forward...many people think that it is attained by man's efforts...it is only

your imagination...what really propels you forward is God's Power alone...God's

Grace alone allows you to move about in this world.Embodiments of Love...develop

LOVE....when you have this LOVE in your heart you can achieve anything...look at

every one as Your very own...accept whatever happens as for your own

good....whether you are hit on your leg...or sustain illness...accept that it

is for your own good...and then try to get the remedy...In our hospital you

need to take the maximum number of precautions to give health and happiness

back to the patients...there may be some selfishness when you treat patients

but there need to be more of service and help when you treat patients...one

cannot escape a little bit of selfishness in this world...but you should also

include some service and selflessness while you treat patients.Treat everything

as God's own work. When you see the patient and administer medicine...when you

give this Love of God, perform this as a Sadhana (spiritual

practice).....unless you have spiritual practices you cannot succeed in this

world.....how much ever your efforts in this physical world...if you can add

even a little bit of spiritual power to your attempts your success is

assured!!....Discharge all your worldly responsibilities with this spiritual

bent of mind...pray that every patient you treat should regain his/her health

....more than the patient it is the doctors prayers that would give faster

healing to the patient!!...God's Nature is filled with selfless Love....you

have kept water here...it is bland in taste...but if you add some sugar it

becomes sweet...the sweetness of sugar is nature's secret...when you suck water

from a tumbler using a straw does the tumbler or the straw feel the sweetness of

the water....it is only the human tongue that can experience the sweetness...our

stomach is like the tumbler with its sweetness...the intellect is like the

straw, use the intellect to discriminate between right and wrong and accept

only that which is good.Embodiments of Love, you are performing a lot of

service to this country...because there is a lack of such helpers in the world

there is a lot of turbulence...one should go on helping everyone....if not

anything, giving water to a thirsty person is also service...this way one can

develop Paraartha also... Embodiments of Love....it is not as if you do not

know...still how many ever number of times I tell, it is only when you take the

first step and start developing this feeling of love that you can work with

selflessness...do everything as God's Own work...shun selfishness at work...try

and develop a selfless approach...when you treat everything as God's work, you

will surely succeed!!....whatever work you do...your heart must be full of

God's Love...think of yourself as a servant to the patient...this spirit of

service gives you successful results...remove egoistic feelings from your

work...add Love to every action of yours...Embodiments of Love, I do not need

to tell you more...Love is immanent in everything...however we utilize it more

for selfish purposes than for societal good...there may be some amount of

selfishness but one should try to fill one's life and actions with God's

Love...some people may feel that they are not getting enough salaries but it is

not salary which is going to give you happiness....it is the service and Love

that you show that gives you happiness...you talk of achieving God's Grace but

(you) are eating grass...no no, you should eat GRACE alone...that will lead you

to greatness!!Today I am very happy....I have been trying to see you all at one

place for so many days...today that has come true...you all work in different

places, but today being a Sunday, you all were able to assemble at one

place...treat everyday as a Sunday because the names of days may be different

but Sun is present in every day...be happy and spread happiness...If doctors

are happy, any number of patients can be seen and sent back happily...so all

doctors be happy and spread this happiness to all those you see....What is true

happiness...it is in Union with God...(Swami praised Dr Prasad for his excellent

contribution in translating His Divine Discourse)Man needs to try his

best....victory or defeat is in God's Hands.Everywhere in this world there is

shortage of nurses....they join, learn all the work and finally go away...it is

not as if there is something less here...it is a misconception to think that one

can earn a lot of money when one goes to foreign lands...along with the earnings

there is the taxation and other expenses...even though the amount drawn is less

here, it still gives lot of happiness...do not aspire for the wealth of

money.....aspire for Vignyana Pragnyana and Sugnyana to get the Gynana of

Ananda.. Many people do go out for the sake of money, realize the hard facts

within a few months and regret their actions. But it is too late by then. Even

we would be happy if you really earn more...do not waste money in such

circumstances...money makes many things but does not give real bliss to the

heart. One should be happy and contented with whatever one gets....Rs.2000 here

is equivalent, if not more than, Rs.20000 that you can earn in other

countries...it is mostly an illusion that one can earn more outside....your

expenditure is in proportion to your earnings...if you are destined to earn

more you will get it, come what may....do not be swayed by the attraction of

higher salaries (money). Embodiments of Love, what more joy and happiness do

you want than this? Cultivate love and kinship with everyone, that will give

you everlasting joy...we are never lacking in compensating our people here...we

are strictly adhering to Government Scales, you may have many expenditures but

definitely you will be getting equivalent compensation ...just have a little

bit of forbearance. Many doctors earn a lot in America, but when they come here

and go back, their savings are all spent on charges. So there is always a plus

and a minus in earnings...unfortunately everyone thinks of only plus and not

the minus. Be happy and contented with what you have and definitely success

will be yours!!
