Sage of Kanchi -

Pranams at the lotus feet of Sri Paramacharya !

Parmacharya describes, we have to strictly follow medication to get rid of any illness, during this period of medication doctor advise us to follow harsh food habits, body causes illnesses, if there is no body there would not be any illnesses at all, a doctor knows what type of medicine and dosage should be given to a patient, surprisingly there is a way we can strive for not to get trapped inside the body.   Veda affirms Dharmashathra is the instrument as well as   best cure for the mental and physical afflictions of worldly existence ultimately liberates the soul from repeated births.   Manu who is the author of Dharmashasthra/Manusmrithi advise various techniques to get freed from repeated births and welfare of the soul.  We have seen the difficulties in curing physical ailments, if this is the case with the physical ailments just imagine the strictness we have to undergo to cure ailments of our soul.  Water carried in various pots added in a pond cannot make out any difference in the water which represents supreme knowledge.  Manusmrithi describes truthfulness as the highest of virtues; an individual should have basic requirements like respect and devotion to Mother, Father, Preceptor, and deities.  He should be helpful to needy people. He should have good control over senses, he should follow simplicity, should not be a spend thrift, he should have a habit of spending money on charities, he should strictly follow truth, Bhramacharya/chastity, celibacy, non-violence, and should not steal other's properties or should not have illicit relationships.  Every individual has to follow Vishesha Dharma according to their Varnna, it is essential to provide seclusion while observing those rites, it would help them to perform the rite with intense devotion and without any disturbance.  Everyone should practice selflessness, love, and compassion.  The reasons for constant conflicts, arguments, mental and physical afflictions are the results of lack of observance of righteousness; we are following harsh food habits while undergoing medication to cure our bodily illnesses, in the same manner, we have to strictly follow our spiritual as well religious rites to attain overall well-being.
