So the thing is this, is it true that what we call as our physical body, we were not born this way, we slowly gathered this.

How did we gather this?

The food that we have eaten.

What is the quality of food that we eat?

Will it not have an impact on the body that we constructed?

The kind of bricks that you've used to build this wall, does it not have an impact on the quality of the wall when the brick quality is in a certain way, whether it's good or bad?

So, the same goes for the body.

We gathered this body, and what we call as mind is the variety of impressions that we have gathered.

If we do not consciously decide what should be the source of my body, what should be the source of my mind, what should get into my body, what should get into my mind, if this consciousness is not there, obviously you will be an accidental being.

So, all these accidents, you call them as ailments, all right?

Physical ailments are different.

In that you can bifurcate, there are infectious diseases and there are chronic ones.

Infectious diseases are a invasion upon our body by some other organism.

That means you must go to the doctor for that.

There is no even thinking twice about it.

But chronic ailments are self-help.

This may sound cruel to a lot of people, but actually knowingly or unknowingly, we are manufacturing it.

We do not know how to handle our mind, our emotions, our chemistry, our body.

People don't even know how to sit and stand properly.

In what kind of posture will this body do best?
