Considering that we are a microcosm of Creation and that the Only ONE is within us... then how do we maintain our relationship with the Whole? Disease has alarmingly increased, to the point that the medical system one depends on, cannot Cure a single disease, including the "common cold". So, how can cure come about when the meaning of Health is not understood at all? Are we truly healthy by passing a medical examination? Health means Whole. So, how whole do we want to BE?
To be Healthy and Happy requires us to in principle be as whole as Creation. In other words, our degree of health is relative to our relationship with Creator's Body, His Creation. Our Being is most profoundly designed to live up to this relationship. We eat-defecate, drink-urinate, inhale-exhale...to maintain the cycle between the outer-creation and the inner-creation.
By eating, drinking and inhaling we accept Creator's Gifts or Offerings. Then what do we offer to the Giver in an IMPROVED form? Know that the gained Consciousness is the essence of Creator's Gifts, which we extract via the inner-refinement or digestive process.
So, the daily offering of a small portion of food or anything we receive via "cosmic channels", is the first and normal spiritual practice. Otherwise we become a "cosmic thief". Thieves when caught are put in jail, to become aware of their stuckness. Disease of any form is the self-imposed jail (immobility, hospital). So, the consumption of the highest quality of food and the best that nature offers, is not the guarantee of Health, Freedom and Happiness. In addition to the daily food consumption we must do the offering, which is essential for our universal well-being.
The three qualities of sacrifice:
1- Offering of objects (food, insence, crystals, money, etc).
2- Offering of the body (service, efforts to improve physical quality).
3- Offering wisdom (share teaching to the benefit of mankind, teach by example).
On the third level the offering of objects and body will make more sense. So, the offering of object and body is needed to gain wisdom.
Bhagavad Gita:
- From food comes forth beings; from rain food is produced; from sacrifice arises rain and from sacrifice arises rain and sacrifice is born of action.
- Know thou that action comes from Brahma and Brahma comes from the Imperishable. Therefore, the all-pervading Brahma ever rests in sacrifice.
Sacrifice produces rain! It is asserted by some that the smoke that rises from the sacrificial (Homa) pit brings about the necessary change in the atmosphere to induce the cloud to rain. Fire ceremonies, including the smoking of the sacred pipe, have been used to the benefit of the Whole. With good thoughts we can lead the sacrifice in even more subtle levels. Self-sacrificing selflessness in the Heart of Man creates Prosperity
