Not Sick, But Are You Healthy?







In fact, you are in a worse situation now. When you were not well, you were sick, you knew it, and you would go and see a doctor. You would religiously take your pills. That okay then. But now you are no longer sick. So, no more doctors, no more pills. Yet, you "fell" unhealthy.


You "feel" sick. Why? you have been sick for so long, hospitalized for so long, in bed for so long, that now when you are not sick, you are still in a trauma. You are imagining things. You are fearful. You fear you may fall, so you don't walk. What kind of life is this? the mere absence of sickness doesn't make you healthy. Understand this well--i want you to be healthy.


having no problem in life, all your needs taken care of, is comfortable to a state of no-sickness. But, you are missing health. In fact whatever you have been doing cure yourself, the cure hasn't been complete. you are not yet healthy.


You can't enjoy your life; you can't celebrate life. you can't love. Your heart beats only to pump blood in and out; it doesn't beat to the rhythm of love. How sad!


You're missing life. Yet, it is not too late. come and join this festival of love. In love, and love alone, will you ever find health? let me tell you something. You don't realize this, but you have been healthy. So, you have no measurement, nothing to compare with whatsoever. Now, life is slipping away from you, without you realize it.


not sick, yet still in bed--What kind of life is this? leave your bed. that will be your first step to health. Be healthy and keep to be so always!!
