Medicine tries to free man from diseases superficially, at the level of body which is symptoms relief. Even when he’s free from all his diseases, man does not become free from the basic disease that comes with being man, the desire for the impossible. Man’s disease means not being satisfied with anything that makes all he achieves futile, and attaches significance to whatever he does not have. If the inner being is diseased, the ripples reach the outer level, the body.
Medical science will be complete the day we understand the inner side of man because the diseased person who is sitting within us creates a thousand and one illness at the outer level, the body. The cure for the disease of being man is meditation. Meditation has two parts: the beginning and the end. The beginning is called dhyana and the end is called samadhi. Dhyana is the seed, samadhi is the flowering. Dhyana means becoming aware of all workings of your mind, all the layers of your mind such as your memories, your desires, your thoughts, dreams that becoming aware of all that goes on inside you. Dhyana is awareness, and samadhi is when the awareness has become so deep, so profound, so total that it is like a fire and it consumes the whole mind and all its functionings. It consumes thoughts, desires, ambitions, hopes, dreams. It consumes the whole stuff the mind is full of. Samadhi is the state when awareness is there, but there is nothing to be aware inside you; the witness is there, but there is nothing to be witnessed. In that tranquility, in that calmness, you become aware of a luminous quality to existence. Begin with dhyana, with meditation, and end in samadhi, in ecstasy, and you will be cured, you will know what God is.❤️
