This in turn is dependent on the food and drink we partake. There is no dearth of health in this hospital. However it is very important that we should also have happiness while we pursue work here. In comparison to other hospitals our hospital gives opportunities for pursuing both health and happiness. Mana Eva Manushyanaam Kaaranam Bandha Mokshayoho \u2013 Mind is the reason for both attachment and detachment. When your mind is relaxed all other happiness follows. Arogyam Moolamuthamam \u2013 Health is the most important and noble thing. In today\u2019s world the food we eat, the water we drink and the air we breathe have all become polluted. Food and drink are directly responsible for the deterioration of health.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>No doubt, food is an essential thing for health especially in that the food we eat affects the feelings we develop. There is no point in simply stating lofty goals if you do not take concrete measures to achieve them \u2013 at least the first steps should be taken.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A Verse in Telugu:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>(Even if you have wealth and property and righteousness, you are miserable if you do not have children\u037e<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Even if you are highly academically qualified, if you do not have a job you feel miserable)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In today\u2019s circumstances, one does not get both and if you need both you should have both Positive and Negative within. Sadly we see only negative feelings within today\u2019s man. It becomes our bounden duty to seek and develop positive within. Our senses are getting battered<\/p>\n<p>by only polluted items \u2026naturally it affects the physical health also\u2026Vaidyo Narayano Hari\u2026.there needs to be unity of thought word and deed while we perform our duties as doctors\u2026.when there is dichotomy in thought and word or word and deed we get negative feelings within\u2026Doctors also must cleanse their hearts with Holy and Divine feelings\u2026in this Visaala Prapancham (wide world) one needs to develop Visaala Bhaavam (Positive feelings and Broad vision) to banish negativity \u2026.one must distinguish between the physical heart and the HRIDAYA ( inner spiritual heart).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Generally, you do not find doctors and nurses having the same type of approach \u2026however in our hospital all are working with a unity of purpose\u2026no doubt the external world does affect the desires and feelings of nurses and doctors\u2026When you are working here, do not allow outside influences to affect your mind\u2026development of one\u2019s own self is a natural process\u2026to attribute one\u2019s happiness, progress or prosperity to outside influences, one\u2019s own knowledge in the field or the education one has\u037e is a kind of innocence\u2026<\/p>\n<p>A Telugu Verse again:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One reads a lot&#8230;becomes a great academic in his field \u2026yet he does not know himself\u037e<\/p>\n<p>How much ever one becomes educated he does not lose his meanness\u037e<\/p>\n<p>If you analyze, higher one gets educated, higher is the level of argumentation and lesser is the wisdom\u037e<\/p>\n<p>What is the point in struggling so much for studying \u2026one should study that which would liberate us!!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Human life is very expansive.

But it is too late by then. Even we would be happy if you really earn more\u2026 do not waste money in such circumstances\u2026money makes many things but does not give real bliss to the heart. One should be happy and contented with whatever one gets\u2026.Rs.2000 here is equivalent, if not more than, Rs.20000 that you can earn in other countries\u2026it is mostly an illusion that one can earn more outside\u2026.your expenditure is in proportion to your earnings\u2026if you are destined to earn more you will get it, come what may\u2026.do not be swayed by the attraction of higher salaries (money).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Embodiments of Love, what more joy and happiness do you want than this? Cultivate love and kinship with everyone, that will give you everlasting joy\u2026we are never lacking in compensating our people here&#8230;we are strictly adhering to Government Scales, you may have many expenditures but definitely you will be getting equivalent compensation \u2026just have a little bit of forbearance. Many doctors earn a lot in America, but when they come here and go back, their savings are all spent on charges. So there is always a plus and a minus in earnings\u2026 unfortunately everyone thinks of only plus and not the minus. Be happy and contented with what you have and definitely success will be yours!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hospital Visit Date: 26 December, 2004 Occasion: Hospital Visit Place: Prashanti Nilayam &nbsp; Highlights of Bhagawan&#8217;s Discourse &nbsp; Embodiments of Love, &nbsp; For the body, health is very important.
