________________
DISCIPLINED LIFESTYLE Paramahamsa Niranjanananda
It is certainly true that in the modern lifestyle, man has not been able to bring about control in his mind, intellect, emotions, food, beliefs, etc., and when stress is created in the different stages of life, disorder results. Then, within the body, diseases arise. If, through any method, we could stay controlled, if we could keep our body and our mind in a balanced state, then diseases would not have any place in our life.
The philosophy of yoga is very simple. If we face any problem within our physical self due to our disorders, if a disease is born within us because of our erratic schedules of the day, then the solution lies within us too. For this no external support is required. What are the solutions? Make yourself self-controlled again. Bring a balance into our daily schedules and the result will be that the disease will leave by itself; disease will not have any place in your life. The modern medicinal practices show that medicine can suppress the symptoms of diseases but it cannot bring about a disciplined life.
