Description

Acharya Prashant addresses the limitations of modern medical science, noting that while it has made immense progress in treating physical ailments, it often fails to address the root cause of suffering, which lies in human consciousness. He explains that medical science focuses on the visible and gross aspects of disease because they are easier to detect, yet true health is not merely the absence of physical illness but a state of complete well-being. He argues that pain is not experienced by the body itself but by the consciousness; for instance, a person in deep sleep does not feel the pain of a broken limb because their consciousness is withdrawn. Therefore, any medical treatment that ignores the 'I' or the ego is incomplete, as the ultimate goal of all sciences and arts is the well-being of the self. He emphasizes that spirituality is the science of becoming free from disease in the truest sense. He uses the term 'Niramaya' to describe a state of health that is synonymous with the realization of the Truth or Brahman. Acharya Prashant asserts that without self-knowledge or 'Vidya', even highly educated professionals like doctors and professors remain intellectually and spiritually underdeveloped. He suggests that spirituality should not be an elective addition to education but its very foundation. He encourages the questioner to remain steadfast in her environment, comparing the struggle for truth to a battlefield where one must face challenges directly rather than seeking an escape into a non-existent utopia.
