Description

Acharya Prashant addresses a question about why he couldn't heal his own Corona infection using spiritual powers. The questioner's friend, a practitioner of Pranic Healing, had argued that a true Acharya should be able to cure himself by increasing his body's energy. The questioner's friend is part of a community that engages in various practices like Tantra, Tarot, Past Life Regression, Vastu Consultancy, Numerology, Theta Healing, Angel Therapy, Crystal Energy, Sound Healing, Palmistry, and Chakra Therapy. Acharya Prashant begins by questioning the questioner's association with such individuals, asking how he can listen to him on one hand and keep such company on the other. He defines an 'Acharya' as one who teaches 'aacharan' (conduct) and how to live life, questioning if this is what he has taught the questioner. He dismisses the notion that he should be immune to illness, stating that he is an ordinary man and whatever happens to an ordinary person happens to him. He asserts that the body is material and worldly, and for worldly matters, one must consult an expert in that field. A chemist knows about chemicals, not a guru or a pandit. When in front of an expert doctor, he listens quietly and follows their advice, as he is not a specialist on Corona. He categorizes people into three types. The first two, whom he respects, are those with a scientific temperament who rely on intellect and facts, and those with a spiritual inclination who are introspective. The third category, which he criticizes, consists of people who are neither scientific nor spiritual. These are the individuals who engage in the aforementioned practices, which he deems both unscientific and unspiritual. He explains that such practices appeal to those who wish to live in their personal lies because they require no real effort, no renunciation of one's tendencies, and no acquisition of true knowledge. These practices, he says, are a business that thrives on a large section of the world that wants to live in lies. Acharya Prashant clarifies that anyone involved in such foolish work is a staunch opponent of spirituality because they cannot tolerate the truth. He states that no scripture contains a mantra that can protect from Corona; the only way is to stay away from the virus. If one gets infected, they must go to a doctor. He finds it absurd to think that meditation can cure a virus or that closing one's eyes can reveal worldly knowledge like the periodic table. Meditation, he explains, is for a completely different dimension and is not a cure for a virus. He concludes by warning against such practices and the people who promote them.
