Guest guest Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord Evil thoughts cause ill-health. Anxiety, fear and tension also contribute their share. All these result from greed - greed to have more of things, of power, and of fame. Greed results in sorrow and despair. Contentment can come only from a spiritual outlook. The desire for worldly goods has to be given up. One should not distinguish between "my work" and "work for God". All work should be worship. Whatever the reward, it is the gift of God. It is for our lasting good. If this attitude is developed, suffering and pain can toughen us and help us to progress towards Divinity. It is through pain that pleasure is gained. Darkness enables us to appreciate light. Death teaches us to love life. Diseases which torment man are many in number; of these, hatred, envy and egoism are the worst. Even doctors cannot cure them, for most of them suffer from these. One should develop equanimity and serenity if one desires to be free from these diseases.
