What do you call ill-health? It is really the harmonizing effort of the intelligence in the body that is sometimes misinterpreted as illness. You have a headache. It followed two late nights with too many drinks. Enough for two days! So you rest a day. Harmony is restored. It balances out.You eat something you should not have taken, or you overeat, and the intelligence, the life-force within you springs into activity. It creates a bad taste or ulcers in your mouth that stop you from eating for the present. It is like the road sign warning, "Road closed — men at work" telling you, "wait a while — repair work in progress." It is yet another attempt of the vital force in you to re-establish this balance — this harmony.
When harmony is restored it does not mean that there will be no more upsets, pains and aches. There are a number of cults that claim that when you meditate your headaches will disappear and all indigestion will go. Impossible. And what for?
