Sorrow is caused by the human body, which is the home of countless microbes and other parasitic beings. No one can be free from this disease inducing causes. But, one can easily overcome this sorrow by developing feelings of compassion towards all beings, and developing thoughts which thrive on Love and spread Love. Illness, both physical and mental, is a reaction caused by the poison in the mind. Vice breeds diseases. Bad thoughts and habits, bad company and bad food, are fertile grounds where disease thrives. Arogya, good health and Ananda, bliss go hand in hand.
- Divine Discourse, July 13, 1980.
