I read a lot of books on Health but something I read today by Dr Robert E. Svoboda so moved me, it and has to be shared.. There is incredible beauty, love and wisdon in these 4 paragraphs he wrote in this Introduction to Prakriti describing health. I suggest reading these 4 paragraphs below a couple of times and allowing its truth to enter you. We all exist as individuals against the background of our external environment, Mother Nature. None of us can ever be wholly individual, for Nature conditions our individuality. Most of us embrace the world, indulging ourselves unlimitedly, relying on the world to continue supplying goodies to us and on Nature to provide us enough digestive power to consume them. Most of us call this self-indulgence freedom. True freedom is, however, the ability to be totally adaptable. Enjoyment is certainly one of lifes purposes, but you lose your ability to enjoy when you exceed your limits. Limitation is inherent in life. You are limited by dozens of obligations, such as the necessity to breathe, to eat, to sleep, and to use words to communicate with others. Your most important limitation is your organisms capacity to endure your indulgences. Either you willingly limit yourself or Nature will limit you. Disease is Natures way of forcing you to slow down and rest. This is why She is called Mother Nature: She loves you so much that She cannot bear to see you ruining yourself. She warns you of your errors over and over, and turns to drastic measures only when you obstinately refuse to listen to her. It is a classic case of freedom versus responsibility: either you restrict your freedom a little bit each day, or Nature will come along and restrict it for you for days, weeks or months at a time. .... Your most precious possession, your life, is yours and yours alone, unlike that of any human being past, present, or future. Each human is a unique manifestation of Mother Nature; the Creative Energy of the universe. Each possesses an indwelling fragment of the Universal Soul. The message of the Vedas is that each of us must find our own path to a life lived to the fullest, for only by making the most of ourselves can we repay to Nature the debt we owe her for giving us life. The universe needs you to add your mite to the vast collective tapestry we call human civilization. You can make your fullest contribution to life only when you are healthy and health alone enables you to enjoy your life to the fullest in return. page 4 & 5 Prakriti - Your Ayurvedic Constitution
