Health

Some of you think that if you are spiritual your health should bloom. I don't know what the body has to do with spirituality, but by all means let it bloom. I, too, want it to bloom, but let is do so without asking a price from spirituality. If it doesn't ask that price and it blooms, welcome. If it doesn't bloom, that also is welcome. If' God can create health, you like it; if He creates illness, you don't like it. But whatever has been touched by His hand is celestial, wonderful! Don't ever mistake it. Life is wonderful, because He created it. Death is wonderful, because both have been created by Him. Or don't you think so? You think God created half of it and the other half was created by somebody else? Then that somebody is also a creator, equal to God. Of course, there are some who will not admit that; instead, they go through all kinds of gyrations of philosophy and reasoning to prove health is created by God but illness is not. Well, I confess I have not been able to grasp the essence of such arguments. Simple-minded as I am, I come to the conclusion that if anything is created by God then everything is created by Him; so why hug good health and not ill health? As a matter of fact, let us forget all these things. From a psychological point of view, he alone conquers ill health who is unaffected by it.
