A disease in the body, is the result of a mind in chaos

A disease in the body,
is the result of a mind in chaos.
A body is a temple in which God resides.
The body is a manifestation of the soul.
It is a vehicle that reaches you
To Vishnu pada (Vishnu's feet).
When the mind gets agitated,
You begin to lose God within.
The body automatically begins to lose function.
This is a hindrance in your spiritual progress.
Life is precious. It is a gift of God,
Given to realize His Omnipresence
Within you and all around.
Value this gift and treat it with respect.
Firstly, it is important to develop strong faith in God.
Your dependence must be on God and no other.
Secondly, you need a strong will
To overcome temptations,
Any temptations that will agitate the mind
Or inflict pain in the body.
Thirdly, develop a pure heart of love.
You must think in the best interests of all around.
Fourth, you must stop wasting time.
Utilize time only to see and feel God at all times.
Fifth, you must stop worrying.
Why worry when God is the doer.
Surrender! Surrender!
Sixth, give up anger!
Anger is a disease of the mind,
Fire that will only consume you.
Seventh, have no desires,
Except that of being with God.
Desires are the roots of a restless mind.
Eighth, have no thoughts.
When all is God, all is His will,
Then why think, just do!
Ninth, offer God every moment, pure, sincere love,
He is himself enslaved by your true devotion.
Be persistent and God will shower His Grace.
With this Grace, there will be no mind,
No body consciousness, no ego,
Only Atma and Paramatma.
