________________
we suffer helps us nullify our bad karmas. Those who look at an illness with this business-like attitude, see an opportunity to gain here too.
A diseased state also has its own internal commerce. If you can view this diseased state from that commercial angle, then even in the midst of immense pain, you can maintain your equilibrium. If a businessman can see the commercial angle, then keeping awake till late night, working over-time and sometimes staying hungry would all become second nature to him, isn't it?
When you appear for an exam in school, the examination time is only three hours, yet the student's hard-work for the entire year is checked in this exam. The way a student perceives his exam., the patient should perceive the disease in the same manner.
For a dumb student exam time is a problem time, For an average student exam time is a testing time; But, For a bright student exam time is a time to excel.
In the same manner, we can divide the diseased state in three categories and explain as follows:
For an ignorant soul, the period of illness is one when he accumulates more karma to his soul, since he perceives suffering when he has an illness.
For a religious minded person, the period of illness is a time when his bad karmas are at play since he perceives his illness to be the result of his karmas.
