==ProgressCauses of Illness==

You are given an illness purposely to make you progress? Surely it is not like that''Q...You must never think that the Divine has purposely sent an illnessSweet Mother, if someone falls seriously ill, for that would truly be is this a very wicked Divine!... <ref>http://incarnateword.purely physical phenomenon or is it a difficulty in/cwm/05/22-july-1953#p2</ref>his spiritual life?''

To make people ill We have often said that illnesses are always the result of a disturbance of equilibrium, but this disturbance can occur in completely different states of being. For the ordinary man whose consciousness is centred in order to improve the physical, outer life, it is a purely physical disturbance of equilibrium, of the functioning of the different organs. But when behind this purely superficial life, an inner life is being fashioned, the causes of illness change; they always become the expression of a disequilibrium between the different parts of the being: between the inner progress or effort and the outer resistances or perfect them is not Motherconditions of one's life, one's method… <ref>http://incarnatewordbody.in/cwsa/30/difficulties-experienced-in-the-process-of-descent#p18</ref>

==Virtue== The child must be taught Even from the ordinary external point of view, it has been recognised for a very long time that it is a fall in the resistance of the vitality due to immediate moral causes which is always at the origin of an illness. When one is in a normal state of equilibrium and lives in a normal physical harmony, the body has a capacity of resistance, it has within it an atmosphere strong enough to resist illnesses: its most material substance emanates subtle vibrations which have the strength to resist illnesses, even diseases which are called contagious—in fact, all vibrations are contagious, but still, certain diseases are considered as early as possibleespecially contagious.Well, a man who, even from the purely external point of view, is in a state in which his organs function harmoniously and an adequate psychological balance prevails, has at the same time enough resistance for the contagion not to affect him..that But if for some reason or other he does not become more interesting loses this equilibrium or is weakened by being illdepression, dissatisfaction, moral difficulties or undue fatigue, for instance, but rather this reduces the normal resistance of the body and he is open to the contrarydisease...Children should therefore be taught But if we consider someone who is doing yoga, then it is altogether different, in the sense that the causes of disequilibrium are of a different nature and the illness usually becomes the expression of an inner difficulty which has to be overcome.So each one should find out for himself why he is ill is a sign of weakness and inferiority, not of some virtue or sacrifice. <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwm/1209/physical19-june-education1957#p9p1,p3,p4,p5</ref>

...illness is It's the effect of a combination of three things: bad will (at the worst, a thing refusal to be eliminatedfollow the movement), not accepted a more or enjoyedless total bad will; an ignorance of the laws and their consequences, that is, the causes and effects (a complete ignorance); and, of course, a form of inertia—it's all a form of inertia, but the greatest form of inertia is the incapacity to receive and respond.These three things combined are what creates diseases and so on, and the final effect—death.That is, the disintegration of created harmony. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsaagenda/3109/illnessmarch-and2-health1968#p58p38</ref>

The nervous (vital-physical) being supports the body—if it is calm and strong and solid, then the body is well supported and can withstand illness and weakness or, if illness comes, it will bear and more easily get rid of it.If the nervous being is weak, then it is the opposite..you have If the nervous being is not merely weak, but nervous and unstable, over-sensitive, vehement or excitable, then there is much fluctuation, restlessness, exaltation and depression in the being—there may even be a wrongly acute creative imagination which brings in disorders into the body that are nervous and not to accept physical—there is no physical illness as of the Divine Willheart but there are pains and palpitations, but rather look upon it as an imperfection nothing physically wrong with stomach and intestines and yet there is inability to digest—nervous dyspepsia; pains are created in different parts of the body… <ref>http://incarnatewordbody and so on—sometimes there is hysteria.in/cwsa/29/equality-the-chief-support#p18</ref>

==Result of These conditions are not always native to the Divine Force== The Divine Force cannot body—they are often created by its descent be troubles in the life, some disturbing illness or other reasons—but often it is due to some hereditary cause or otherwise native to the system. Women tend to get like this sometimes if there is disorder of madness any more than it can be of apoplexy or any other physical illness… the menstruation. <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/accidentsillness-possessionand-madnesshealth#p30p49,p50</ref>

Whatever force is sent is for cure. Increase of illness or physical suffering is not the result of the forceDepression and discouragement have a very adverse effect; they cut out holes in it [nervous envelope], as it were, in its very stuff, render it weak and unresisting and open to hostile attacks an easy passage. <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/3103/illness16-andjune-health1929#p14p11</ref>

I find it difficult to believe that illness and deterioration of ...the body 's whole functioning is the natural a discipline, and general result of if there is a part that no longer wants to follow the practice discipline—out of Yoga revolt or incapacity or that that practice is the cause of an inevitable breakdown of health...It is more rational to conclude that both Yogis and non-Yogis fall ill and die from natural causes and by the same dispensation of Nature… <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/illness-and-health#p8</ref> ==Imperfection in Other Parts== As for any reason—if it stops following the question about the illnessdiscipline, perfection in the physical plane is indeed part of the ideal of the Yoga, but ...one may have a certain perfection on other planes without having immunity in the bodyyou fall ill. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsaagenda/3110/illnessfebruary-and8-health1969#p57p37</ref>

If you drink unfiltered water and think, "Now I am drinking impure water", you have every chance of falling sick. And even though such suggestions may not enter through the conscious mind, the whole of your subconscious is there, almost helplessly open to take any kind of suggestion. In life it is the action of the subconscious that has the larger share and it acts a hundred times more powerfully than the conscious parts.<centerref>~http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/19-may-1929#p18</centerref>

If there is one mental disorder which can bring about all illnesses, it is fear.<refcenter>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/04/31-march-1951#p3~</refcenter>

<center>~</center> ...fear always brings what one fears. If you fear In the subconscient there is an obscure mind full of obstinate Sanskaras [imprints or habits], impressions, associations, fixed notions, habitual reactions formed by our past, an accidentobscure vital full of the seeds of habitual desires, sensations and nervous reactions, this acts like a magnet drawing most obscure material which governs much that has to do with the accident towards youcondition of the body...And It is largely responsible for our illnesses; chronic or repeated illnesses are indeed mainly due to the subconscient and its obstinate memory and habit of repetition of whatever has impressed itself upon the same thing holds for illness..body-consciousness. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwmagenda/0609/27june-january15-19541968#p6</ref>

In fact, ninety per cent Out of illnesses the subconscious we bring ordinarily so much to the surface as our waking sense mind and intelligence need for their purpose; in so bringing them up we are the result not aware of their nature, origin, operation and do not apprehend them in their own values but by a translation into the subconscient fear values of the bodyour waking human sense and intelligence.In But the ordinary consciousness risings of the subconscious, its effects upon the mind and body there is a more or less hidden anxiety about the consequences , are mostly automatic, uncalled for and involuntary; for we have no knowledge and therefore no control of the slightest physical disturbance..subconscient.this anxiety It is a lack only by an experience abnormal to us, most commonly in illness or some disturbance of balance, that we can become directly aware of confidence something in the Divine's Gracedumb world,dumb but very active, of our bodily being and vitality or grow conscious of the unmistakable sign that secret movements of the consecration mechanical subhuman physical and vital mind which underlies our surface,—a consciousness which is ours but seems not complete ours because it is not part of our known mentality. This and perfectmuch more lives concealed in the subconscience.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwmcwsa/1522/fearout-of-the-andsevenfold-ignorance-towards-the-sevenfold-illnessknowledge#p3p9</ref>

Yet all the time the universal forces are pouring into him without his knowing it. He is aware only of thoughts, feelings etc. that rise to the surface and these he takes for his own. Really they come from outside in mind waves, vital waves, waves of feeling and sensation etc. which take particular forms in him and rise to the surface after they have got inside.But they do not get into his body at once. He carries about with him an environmental consciousness (called by the Theosophists the aura) into which they first enter. If you have fear can become conscious of this environmental self of yours, then you can catch the thought, passion, suggestion or apprehension force of illness in your vital, that is the first thing to or whatever it may be , before it enters and prevent it from entering into you. If things in you are thrown awayout, as it helps they often do not go altogether but take refuge in this environmental atmosphere and from there try to get in again or they go to a distance outside but linger on the illnesses outskirts or even perhaps far off, waiting till they get an opportunity to come inattempt entrance. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3128/illnessthe-andenvironmental-healthconsciousness#p69p6</ref>

...they say they're illWhen the physical consciousness is being changed, and so they are afraidthe chief resistance comes from the subconscient. It's not true! They are afraid firstis constantly maintaining or bringing back the inertia, weakness, obscurity, lack of intelligence which afflict the physical mind and then they fall ill. They constantly live with a sort vital or the obscure fears, desires, angers, lusts of apprehension: "Ohthe physical vital, what's going or the illnesses, dullnesses, pains, incapabilities to happen?"

And these are not go altogether but take refuge formidable movements: it is quite a small movement in this[the] environmental atmosphere being: one is vexed and from there try says: "You will see what is going to happen, you will see the consequences of what he has done to me! Let it come! I am going to get in again or they go be ill."

And all that takes pleasure in that naturally encourages drama. But the chief resistance comes from seed of the subconscient. It difficulty is constantly maintaining or bringing back that pettiness, extreme pettiness of the inertiaphysical consciousness—the material physical consciousness—which has an absolutely perverse taste for drama.

Attacks Mental fear—all who have a little control over themselves or any human dignity can eliminate it; vital fear is more subtle and asks for a greater control; as for physical fear, a veritable yoga is necessary to overcome it, for the cells of illness the body are attacks afraid of everything that is unpleasant, painful, and as soon as there is any unease, even if it is insignificant, the cells of the body become anxious, they don't like to be uncomfortable. And then, to overcome that, the control of a conscious will is necessary. It is usually this kind of fear that opens the lower nature or door to illnesses. And I am not speaking of adverse forces taking advantage the first two types of some weaknessfear which, as I said, opening or response any human being who wants to be human in the naturenoblest sense of the word, must overcome, for that is cowardice.But physical fear is more difficult to overcome; without it even the most violent attacks could be repelled.If one has a minimum of control over the body, one can lessen its effects, but that is not immunity. It is this kind of trembling of material, physical fear in the cells of the body which aggravates all illnesses.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/3109/illness19-andjune-health1957#p15p6</ref>

The possession by pain or illness they will depress the consciousness an idea and so make a helplessness to reject it less strong , and a fear, a helplessness to resist and reject them. And then a sort of fearfulness that is translated in us by, "Oh, it's going to be that way... oh, it's going to be a disease....

Sometimes it's an altogether INSIGNIFICANT intrusion In fact, ninety per cent of illnesses are the result of the subconscient fear of the body. In the ordinary consciousness of falsehood, for some quite insignificant reason—what the body there is commonly labeled a stupiditymore or less hidden anxiety about the consequences of the slightest physical disturbance. This stems from It can be translated by these words of doubt about the fact future: "And what will happen?" It is this anxiety that must be checked. Indeed this anxiety is a lack of confidence in the adverse forces are always lying in waitDivine's Grace, ready to rush in at the least unmistakable sign of weaknessthat the consecration is not complete and perfect. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agendacwm/0215/julyfear-18and-1961illness#p59p3</ref>

First of all, from the point of view of the body—just the body—there are two kinds of disequilibrium: functional and organic...I do not know if you are aware of the difference between the two; but you have organs and then you have all the cause parts of all illnessesyour body: nerves, all disordersmuscles, bones and all conflictsthe rest. Now, here if an organ by itself is in the material worlddisequilibrium, it is an organic disequilibrium, and you are told: that organ is ill or perhaps it is badly formed or it is not normal or an accident has occurred to it. But it is the two simultaneous movements (one organ that is ill. But the movement of Stability—and the otherorgan may be in a very good condition, all your organs may be in a very good condition, the movement but there is still an illness as they do not function properly: there is a lack of transformation), the two movements balance in the original Consciousness are only one and.functioning..hereYou may have a very good stomach, they are separate,...they don't KNOW how but suddenly something happens to it and it does not function properly; or the body may also be in harmony: they canexcellent, but they don't know.something happens to it and it does not work properly any more.Then you have an illness due to functional imbalance not organic imbalance. <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/agendacwm/1105/february22-25july-19701953#p8p31</ref>

Human life and mind are neither in tune with Nature ...like the animals nor with Spirit—it [''human nature''] is disturbed, incoherent, conflicting with itself, without harmony and balance. We can then regard it as diseased, if not itself a disease.<ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/science-and-yoga#p62</ref> ...if you choose and then draw back...always wavering, always doubting, always fearful, you create a disharmony in your being, which not only retards your progress, but can be the origin of all kinds of disturbance in the mind and vital being and discomfort and disease in the body. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/16-june-1929#p18p69</ref>

The mind with its dogmas, its rigid and arbitrary principles, the vital with its passions, its excesses and dissipations soon destroy the natural balance of the body and create in it fatigue, exhaustion and disease. It must be freed from this tyranny and this can be done only through a constant union with the psychic centre of the being... <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/12/the-science-of-living#p14</ref>

==In Specific IllnessesInertia==

Fever is not a purifying action; it is The human body has always been in the sign habit of an attack answering to whatever forces chose to lay hands on it and illness is the body price it pays for its inertia and a fight ignorance. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/illness-and -health#p78</ref>All ill-health is due to some inertia or weakness or to some resistance to or wrong movement there [in the attack… vital], only it has sometimes a more physical and sometimes a more psychological character. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/illnessdoctors-and-healthmedicines#p62p5</ref>

...there is a group of such [feed upon human vitality thrown out of the body by emotions and excitements] small entities, they may clash with one another, because among themselves they do not have a very peaceful life: clashing with one another, fighting, destroying, demolishing each other. And that is the origin of microbes. They are forces of disintegration. But they continue to be alive even in their divided forms and this is the origin of germs and microbes. Therefore most microbes have behind them a bad will and that is what makes them so dangerous. And unless one should find out knows the quality and kind of bad will and is capable of acting upon it, there is a ninety-nine per cent chance of not finding the true and complete remedy. The microbe is a very material expression of something living in a subtle physical world and that is why these very microbes... that are always around you, within you, for himself why he is years together do not make you ill and then suddenly they make you fall ill. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/0905/1922-junejuly-19571953#p5p49</ref>

They speak of viruses, they speak of microbes, they speak...but we are entirely made up of those things! It's only their interplay, their way of adjusting and harmonizing among themselves that makes all the difference.when you take There is nothing that isn't a wrong attitude"microbe" or a "virus"—they give ugly names to the things they don't want, but it immediately sets off 's all the disorderssame thing!... For the cells, that's not the problem—the problem is not that, but whether to follow the Will for Transformation (which sometimes is a bit brutal—brutal compared to the very small thing a body is), or whether to follow the Will for Harmony... <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/0306/junejuly-207-19621965#p6p7</ref>

If The possibilities of illness are always there in your body and around you; you carry within you or there swarm about you the nervous being microbes and germs of every disease. How is it that all of a sudden you succumb to an illness which you did not have for years? You will say it isdue to a "depression of the vital force".But from where does the depression come? It comes from some disharmony in the being, from a lack of receptivity to the divine forces..nervous When you cut yourself off from the energy and unstable...excitablelight that sustain you, then there is this depression, there is created what medical science calls a "favourable ground" and something takes advantage of it...there may even be It is doubt, gloominess, lack of confidence, a wrongly acute creative imagination which brings in disorders into selfish turning back upon yourself that cuts you off from the light and divine energy and gives the body attack this advantage. It is this that are nervous is the cause of your falling ill and not physical..microbes. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/3103/illness19-andmay-health1929#p49p14</ref>

Depression and discouragement have a very adverse effect; they cut out holes in itHostile [nervous envelope''source of illness''],here means hostile to the Yoga.An illness which comes in the ordinary course as the result of physical causes—even though adverse universal forces are the first cause—is an ordinary illness.. render it weak One brought by the forces hostile to Yoga to upset the system and prevent or disturb progress—without any adequate physical reason—is a hostile attack...open It may have the appearance of a cold or any other illness, but to hostile attacks..the eye which sees the action of forces and not only the outward symptoms or results, the difference is clear. <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwmcwsa/0331/16illness-juneand-1929health#p17</ref>

...passive meditation...leaves Attacks of illness are attacks of the vital and body passive and without defence against inertialower nature or of adverse forces taking advantage of some weakness, illness etc...The consciousness instead of being concentrated gets widely diffused and loosely extended...Concentration must opening or response in the earlier stages nature,—like all other things that come and have got to be active and dynamic with the consciousness gathered and capable of turning the will in any directionthrown away, they come from outside. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/2931/concentrationillness-and-meditationhealth#p86p15</ref>

The psychical prana interferes in all the higher operations to deform them,... limits thereby the operations but it is not your consciousness that wants to be ill, it is some part of your body or at the mind and becomes the link most, a fragment of its dependence on the body vital that has gone wrong and its subjection wishes to fatiguebe ill, incapacityand unless you observe with a good deal of attention you do not notice it). But I say that the situation gets complicated if behind this there is an attack, diseasea pressure from adverse forces who really want to harm you. You may have opened the door through spiritual error, disorderthrough a movement of vanity, insanityof anger, the pettinessof hatred or of violence; even if it is merely a movement that comes and goes, that can open the precariousness door. There are always germs watching and even the possible dissolution of the workings of the physical mentality… only waiting for an occasion. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/2405/purification-the22-lowerjuly-mentality1953#p5p60</ref>

==Affinity in the BeingLack of Receptivity==

And in the body, whatever has trouble adjusting to this new Power creates difficulties, disorders and illnesses.Yet in a flash you sense that if you were totally receptive, you would become formidable.That's the sensation.That's more and more my sensation: that if the illness has succeeded in touching entire consciousness, the physical-physicalentire most material consciousness—the most material—was receptive to this new Power...If it manages to pass through, to enter without one's being aware of it, it means there is some affinity somewhere, and the part of the being which has responded must be convincedwould become for-mi-dable. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwmagenda/0413/31may-march6-19511972#p22p32</ref>

Your inner condition becomes a cause of illness when there is a resistance or revolt in it or when there is some part in you that does not respond to the protection; or even there may be something there that almost willingly and wilfully calls in the adverse forces...It is enough if there is a slight movement of this kind in you; the sages say, "Disorder occurs because hostile forces are at once upon you and their attack takes often the nature has decided to be in disorder," it's not so sillyform of illness.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/agendacwm/0603/19-may-8-19651929#p39p12</ref>

In This divergence between the psychological domainprogress in the inner being and the inertia of the body often creates a dislocation in the system, only the patients and that manifests itself as an illness. This is why people who do take up Yoga frequently begin by suffering from some physical discomfort or disorder. That need not want to recoverhappen if they are on their guard and careful. Or if there is a greater and unusual receptivity in the body, do not recoverthen too they escape. Perhaps it But an unmixed receptivity making the physical parts closely follow the pace of the inner transformation is hardly possible, unless the body has already been prepared in the same past for physical diseases..the processes of Yoga. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/16/5-januaryjune-19331929#p3p6</ref>

You have been told: "Open yourself, you will receive the Force." You have been told: "Have faith, be of goodwill and you will be protected..people always think " And indeed you are bathed in the Consciousness, bathed in the Force, bathed in the Protection and to the extent you have faith and open yourself, you receive all that , and it helps you in keeping fit and in rejecting the little inner disturbances and re-establishing order when these come, in protecting yourself against small attacks or accidents which might have happened. But if somewhere in your being—either in your body or even in your vital or mind, either in several parts or even in a single one—there is not their fault that they are illan incapacity to receive the descending Force, this acts like a grain of sand in a machine. You know, a fine machine working quite well with everything going all right, and you put into it just a little sand (nothing much, only a grain of sand), suddenly everything is always their faultdamaged and the machine stops. Well, just a little lack of receptivity somewhere, something that is unable to receive the Force, that is completely shut up (when one looks at it, it becomes as it were a little dark spot somewhere, a tiny thing hard as a stone: the Force cannot enter into it, it refuses to receive it—either it cannot or it will not) and immediately that produces a great imbalance; and this thing that was moving upward, that was blooming so wonderfully, finds itself sick, and they are very angry sometimes just when they are told this...And yet it is trueyou were in the normal equilibrium; you were in good health, everything was going on well, you had nothing to complain about. <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwm/0705/1622-februaryjuly-19551953#p37p41</ref>

It is there that you must put the force and the discovery quietude of this secret a perfect peace and an absolute trust in the putting Grace. And then, sometimes you are obliged to drive away with a similar force in your thought all suggestions that after all, the physical world is full of illnesses, and these are contagious, and because one was in contact with somebody who is ill, one is sure to catch it into practice, and then, that the inner methods are not only in powerful enough to act on the higher parts physical, and all kinds of the being but in the cells stupidities of which the bodyair is full.

It is a subtle body and yet almost visible...In density something like the vibrations that you see around a very hot and steaming object, it emanates from the physical body and closely covers it. All communications with the exterior world are made through this medium, and it is this that must be invaded and penetrated first before the body can be affected. If this envelope is absolutely strong and intact, you can... go into places infested with the worst of diseases, even plague and cholera, and remain quite immune. It is a perfect protection against all possible attacks of illness, so long as it is whole and entire, thoroughly consistent in its composition, its elements in faultless balance.This body is built up, on the one side, of a material basis, but rather of material conditions than of physical matter, on the other, of the vibrations of our psychological states.Peace and equanimity and confidence, faith in health, undisturbed repose and cheerfulness and bright gladness constitute this element in it and give it strength and substance.It is a very sensitive medium...with facile and quick reactions; it readily takes in all kinds of suggestions and these can rapidly change and almost remould its condition. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/16-june-1929#</ref>

If one is conscious can feel them [attacks of illness] so coming and get the strength and the habit to throw them away before they can enter the subtle body or with the subtle consciousness, then one can stop an remain free from illness on . Even when the attack seems to rise from within, that means only that it has not been detected before it entered the subconscient; once in the subconscient, the force that brought it rouses it from there sooner or later and it invades the system. When you feel it just after it has entered, it is because though it came direct and not through the subconscient, yet you could not detect it while it was still outside. Very often it arrives like that, frontally or more often tangentially from the side, direct, forcing its way and prevent through the subtle vital envelope which is our main armour of defence, but it can be stopped there in the envelope itself before it from entering penetrates the physical material body.Then one may feel some effect, e.g. feverishness or a tendency to cold, but there is not the full invasion of the malady. If it can be stopped earlier or if the vital envelope of itself resists and remains strong, vigorous and intact, then there is no illness; the attack produces no physical effect and leaves no traces. <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/illness-and-health#p52p15</ref>

All illness should be rejected Oh, how interesting it is, if you knew how interesting.... Take coughing, for instance (not in the chest, in the throat). So, the first vibration: an irritation that draws your attention in order to make you cough. It has a certain kind of vibration which we may call "pointed," but it's not violent: it's light, annoying. It's the first little vibration. So with that vibration: awakening of the attention in the surrounding consciousness (of the throat cells); then a refusal to accept the cough, a rejection here (in the throat), which at first almost causes nausea (all this is seen through a microscope, you understand, they are very tiny things). The attention is focused. Then, at that point, there are several possible factors, which are sometimes simultaneous and sometimes one drives away the other; one is anxiety: something goes wrong and all suggestions of illnessthere is apprehension at what's going to happen; the Force other is a will that nothing should be called in to cure disturbed by the assent to health irritation; and the refusal then all of assent to a sudden, the suggestions faith that bring or prolong its oppositethe Force is capable of restoring order everywhere immediately (none of this is intellectual: it's vibrations). <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwsaagenda/3108/illnessfebruary-and8-health1967#p4p8</ref>

By suggestion [...the body consciousness through old habit of consciousness admits the force of illness] I do not mean merely thoughts and goes through the experiences which are associated with it—e.g. congestion of phlegm in the chest and feeling of suffocation or wordsdifficulty of breathing etc. When the hypnotist says, "Sleep", it is To get rid of that one must awaken a suggestion; but when he says nothing but only puts his silent will to convey sleep or makes movements of his hands over and consciousness in the face, body itself that also is a suggestionrefuses to allow these things to impose themselves upon it. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/illness-and-health#p23p54</ref>

It [''the descent of the higher consciousness into the most physical''] brings light, consciousness, force, Ananda into the cells and all the physical movements. The body becomes conscious and vigilant and performs the right movements, obeying the higher will or else automatically by force of the consciousness that has come into it. It becomes more possible to control the functionings of the body and set right anything that is wrong, to deal with illness and pain etc. A greater control comes over the actions of the body and even over happenings to it from outside, e.g. minimising of accidents and small mishaps. The body becomes a more effective instrument for work. It becomes possible to minimise fatigue. Peace, happiness, strength, lightness in the whole physical system. These are the more obvious and normal results which grow as the consciousness grows, but there are many others that are possible.

Suppose that as Some people are spontaneously free from fear even in their body; they have a sufficient vital equilibrium in them not to be afraid, not to fear, and a result natural harmony in the rhythm of some their physical life which enables them to reduce the illness or other, there is some sort of pain at spontaneously to a precise spotminimum...First point: do not stress There are others, on the pain...Second point... draw other hand, with whom the peace into yourself and bring thing always becomes as bad as it down into can be, sometimes to the solar plexus..point of catastrophe.There is the whole range and from there direct it very calmly..this can be seen quite easily.persistentlyWell, towards this depends on a kind of happy rhythm of the place where the pain movement of life in them, which is either harmonious enough to resist external attacks of illness or else doesn't exist or is...not sufficiently powerful, and fix it there...This is not always enough...But if replaced by widening this movement you can add a sort that trembling of mental formation...fear, that kind of instinctive anguish which transforms the only reality least unpleasant contact into something painful and harmful. There is the divine Realitywhole range, from someone who can go through the worst contagion and epidemics without ever catching anything to one who falls ill at the slightest chance...bring into So naturally it always depends on the cells constitution of each person; and as soon as one wants to make an effort for progress, it naturally depends on the control one has acquired over oneself, until the moment when the body becomes the consciousness docile instrument of this sole Reality,...the higher Will and trusting surrender one can obtain from it a normal resistance to the Grace, then I am sure..all attacks.your suffering will disappear… <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwm/0809/419-julyjune-19561957#p21p7</ref>

These [There] are phenomena It is true that doctors have said that if one can teach the body to bear pain, it becomes more and more resilient and less easily disrupted—this is a concrete result. In the case of self-identification. Onlypeople who know how to avoid getting completely upset as soon as they have a pain somewhere, they who are involuntaryable to bear it quietly, to keep their balance, it seems that the body's capacity to bear the disorder without going to pieces increases.This is a great achievement.I have asked myself this question from the purely practical, external standpoint and it seems to be like this. When someone cannot sleep ...his nerves are ill Inwardly, I have been told this many times—told and weakened shown by excessive agitationsmall experiences—that the body can bear much more than we think, he if no fear or anxiety is told added to sit in front of an aquarium... and look at the fishpain. So he looks at If we eliminate the fish, moving around, coming and goingmental factor, ...After a while he lives the life of fishes: he comes and goesbody, swimsleft to itself, glides, plays.

This detachment of the mind must be strengthened by a certain attitude of indifference to the things of the body; we must not care essentially about its sleep or its waking, its movement or its rest, its pain or its pleasure, its health or ill-health, its vigour or its fatigue, its comfort or its discomfort, or what it eats or drinks...if you This does not mean that we shall not keep the body in right order so far as we can; we have not to fall into violent asceticisms or a pain somewherepositive neglect of the physical frame... it corresponds But we have not either to something within,... be affected in mind by hunger or thirst or discomfort or ill-health or attach the importance which the contact with physical and vital man attaches to the true Force puts things back in order..of the body. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agendacwsa/1123/marchthe-28release-from-subjection-to-the-1970body#p23p2</ref>

It is moving within an extraordinary progressive harmony; then, with no apparent reason, without anything having changed in this state the consciousness and any outer circumstances making a difference, pfft! it reverts to what it was before: disorder, conflict, chaos, things that grate.

==Overcoming FearMedicine==

Not Medicines are a ''pis aller'' [a course of action followed as a last resort] that have to be afraid used when something in the consciousness does not respond or responds superficially to the Force. Very often it is some part of the material consciousness that is unreceptive—at other times it is the subconscient which stands in the way even when the whole waking mind, life, physical consent to the liberating influence. If the subconscient also answers, then even a slight touch of falling ill! That's whatthe Force can not only cure the particular illness but make that form or kind of illness practically impossible hereafter. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agendacwsa/0731/octoberdoctors-22and-1966medicines#p4p6</ref>

A strict discipline is needed ''Q. Mother, how are medicines to cure the be used for a body of fear. The cells themselves tremble. It which is only by disciplinenot altogether unconscious? For even when we draw on the divine grace, by yoga we see that one can overcome we need a little medicine, and if a little medicine is given it has a good effect. Does this fear... <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/05/22-july-1953#p10</ref>mean that only the body needs medicine or is there something wrong with the mind and the vital?''

In almost every case, there are things which help—a little—provided it is done within reasonable limits.If it is no longer within reasonable limits, you are sure to break down completely.You cure one thing but catch another which is usually worse.as soon as one begins But still, a little help, in a way, a little something that gives confidence to feel afraid of something [one] your body: "Now it will be all right, now that I have taken this, it is going to think of the Divine be all right"—this helps it a great deal and then snuggle in his arms or at his feet it decides to get better and leave him entirely responsible for everything that happens, within, outside, everywhere—and immediately the fear disappears... <ref>http://incarnatewordit is cured.in/cwm/05/14-october-1953#p36</ref>

If we eliminate g. owing to doubt, lassitude or discouragement or for inability to react against the mental factordisease), then the aid of medical treatment becomes necessary. It is not that the body, left Force ceases to act and leaves all to itselfthe medicines, has neither fear nor apprehension nor anxiety about what is going —it will continue to happen—no anguish—and it can bear a great deal.  [Based on Aphorism<93> Pain is act through the consciousness but take the touch support of our Mother teaching us how the treatment so as to hear and grow act directly on the resistance in rapture.

Mental fear—all who have a little control over themselves or any human dignity can eliminate it; vital fear is more subtle and asks for a greater control; as for physical fear, a veritable yoga Medicine is necessary to overcome it, for our bodies in disease only because our bodies have learned the cells of the body are afraid of everything that is unpleasant, painful,...the cells art of the body[they] become anxious, they don't like to be uncomfortablenot getting well without medicines. And thenEven so, to overcome one sees often that, the control of a conscious will moment Nature chooses for recovery is necessary...It is this kind of trembling of material, physical fear that in which the cells of life is abandoned as hopeless by the body which aggravates all illnessesdoctors.[Aphorism<404>]<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/0910/19aphorism-404-405-june406-1957407#p6p1</ref>

But you mustn't be afraid. Neither afraid of falling illDrugs often cure the body when they do not merely trouble or poison it, nor but only if their physical attack on the disease is supported by the force of becoming imbecile, nor even... of dying—you must the spirit; if that force can be like this (vast and quiet gesturemade to work freely, like the sea)drugs are superfluous.

==Practicing Indifferent DetachmentRole of Supramental Descent==

The physical mind...makes use of the nervous substance; if we withdraw it from the nervous substance, we no longer feel anything, supramental descent is necessary for that's what gives us the perception of sensation....We know something is wrong, but we no longer suffer from it...this kind a dynamic action of indifferent detachment is the ESSENTIAL condition for the establishment of true Harmony Truth in the most material Matter—the most externalmind, physical Matter vital and body.

Its sole power is the power to defend itself, to react. Once the illness has got in, it can fight and overcome it—even modern medicine has acknowledged that the body is cured only when it decides to get cured; it is not the drugs per se that heal, for if the ailment is temporarily suppressed by a drug without the body's will, it grows up again elsewhere in some other form until the body itself has decided to be cured. But this implies only a defensive power, the power to react against an invading enemy—it is not true freedom.

One step towards The absolute immunity can only come with the supramental change. For below the supramental it[illness] is to get the inner consciousness separate from result of an action of a Force among many forces and can be disturbed by a disruption of the equilibrium established—in the body—to feel that supramental it is not you who are ill but it is only something taking place a law of the nature; in the a supramentalised body and not affecting your consciousness. It is then possible to see this separate body consciousnessimmunity from illness would be automatic, what it feels, what are its reactions to things, how it works. One can then act on it to change inherent in its consciousness and reactionsnew nature. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/illness-and-health#p54p52</ref>

OnlySuppose that as a result of some illness or other, when one there is not some sort of pain at a precise spot. At that moment all will depend, as I said at the beginning, on the approach most familiar to you. But we can give an example. You are in pain, in great pain; it is hurting very much coddled, when one has you are suffering a little endurance and decides within himself not to pay too much attention, quite remarkably the pain diminishes… <ref>http://incarnatewordlot.in/cwm/06/17-november-1954#p21</ref>

Second point: as I said, it depends on your habits...the knowledge If you know how to concentrate, to be quiet, and if you can bring into yourself a certain peace, of the power to cut the connection between the suffering part any kind―it may be a mental peace, it may be a vital peace, it may be a psychic peace; they have different values and the recording brain. ...all qualities, this calls for is an occult power individual question―you try to realise within yourself a state of peace or attempt to enter into a conscious contact with a trainingforce of peace...without going so far. Suppose you succeed more or less completely. Then, there is one thing that one if you can try to do: draw the peace into yourself and bring it is down into the solar plexus―for we are not to concentrate on one's talking of inner states but of your physical body―and from there direct it very calmly, very slowly I might say, but very persistently, towards the place where the painis more or less sharp,...But[and] if one can turn one's attention awayfix it there, one no longer suffers. <ref>http://incarnatewordthis is very good.in/cwm/07/27-april-1955#p16</ref>

So there are two things But if by widening this movement you have to do when you have discovered can add a sort of mental formation with a little life in it―not just cold, but with a little life in it―that the only reality is the disorderdivine Reality, big and all the cells of this body are a more or small—the disharmony. ...less deformed expression of this divine Reality―there is only one Reality, the first thing to do Divine, and our body is to quieten oneselfa more or less deformed expression of this sole Reality―if by my aspiration, my concentration, I can bring peace, calm, ... Afterwards you see what is into the cause cells of the disorder...and through body the pressure consciousness of light and knowledge and spiritual force you re-establish the harmony...if it does not offer any obstinate resistancethis sole Reality, you can be cured in a few secondsall disorder must necessarily cease. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/05/22-july-1953#p58</ref>

If you can add to that a movement of complete and trusting surrender to the Grace, then I am sure that within five minutes your suffering will disappear. If you know how to do it.You may try and yet not succeed. But you must know how to try again and again and again, until you do succeed. But if you do those three things at the same time, well, there is no pain which can resist. <centerref>~https://incarnateword.in/cwm/08/4-july-1956#p21,p22,p23,p24,p25,p26,p27,p28</centerref>

One must be conscious, conscious of the working of oneThere's organs,...When they begin indulging a power in unhealthy fancies...you must tell them: nothe sound itself, it is not like that and by forcing the work is body to be done, it is repeat the other way! Suppose for examplesound, your heart begins to throb madly; then you must make force it calm, you tell it that this is not to receive the way to behave, and vibration at the same time . But I've noticed that if something in the body's working gets disturbed (solely to help ita pain or disorder, the onset of some illness) you take and I repeat my mantra in a certain way—still the same words, the same mantra, but said with a certain purpose and above all in longa movement of surrender, surrender of the pain, the disorder, very regular rhythmic breathsand a call, that like an opening—it has a marvelous effect. The mantra acts in just the right way, in this way and in no other. And after a while everything isput back in order. And simultaneously, of course, the lung becomes the mentor precise knowledge of what lies behind the heart disorder and teaches what I must do to set it how right comes to work properly.me.But quite apart from this, the mantra acts directly upon the pain itself. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwmagenda/0501/22june-july4-19531960#p36p4</ref>

The particular place in the body affected by an illness only thing I can suggest about diseases is an index to call down peace. Keep the nature of mind away from the inner disharmony that has taken placebody by whatever means—whether by reading Sri Aurobindo's books or meditation. It points to is in this state that the origin,Grace acts... It indicates And it is the treatment and the cureGrace alone that cures. If one could... find out what has been unreceptive, open that part and put the force and the light there, it would be possible The medicines only give a faith to re-establish in a moment the harmony that has been disturbed and the illness would immediately gobody. That is all. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/0315/16peace-juneand-quiet-faith-and-1929surrender#p8p10</ref>

...the intervention knowledge of the Vibration power to cut the connection between the suffering part and the recording brain. One cuts the connection, then the brain does not register. That's what one does, what the doctors do with anaesthetics. They cut the connection of the nerves between the spot that's ill and the brain; so the brain no longer perceives anything or it is reduced to a minimum… there is one thing that one can try to do: it is not to concentrate on one's pain, to turn the attention away as much as possible, not think at all of one's pain, think as little as possible and above all not be concentrated on it, not to pay attention—"Oh, I'm in pain", then it becomes a little worse; "Oh, I'm in still greater pain", then it becomes still worse, like that, because one is concentrated on it; and this is the mistake one always makes: to think, be there, attentive, awaiting the sign of Harmony into pain; then naturally it comes, it comes increased by the vibration concentration of Disorderthe attention given to it. That is why, allowing [allows] Disorder when one is not well the best thing to do is to ceaseread or have something read, you see; it depends on the condition one is in.

So he looks at the attacked spot fish, moving around, coming and going, swimming, gliding, turning, meeting, crossing, chasing one another indefinitely, and also the true Vibration—the Vibration of Order water flowing slowly and Harmony—and you stop the Disorderpassing fish.After a while he lives the life of fishes: he comes and goes, swims, glides, plays.. all And at the end of the other things hour his nerves are put back in ordera perfect state and he is completely restful!But the condition is that one must not think of one's troubles, as if automaticallysimply watch the fish. <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/agendacwm/05/september12-26august-19641953#p57p18,p19</ref>

I have known some truly extraordinary instances. If you organise everything—your feelingscan at the moment... Wait, take an example which is quite concrete: sunstroke. This upsets you considerably, it is one of the things which makes you most ill—a sunstroke upsets everything, it disturbs the inner functions, it generally causes a congestion in the head and very high fever. So, if this has happened, if it has succeeded in getting through the protection and entering you, well, if you can just go into a quiet place, stretch yourself out flat, go out of your thoughtsbody (naturally, you must learn this; there are people who do this spontaneously, for others a long discipline is necessary), go out of your impulsesbody, etcremain above in a way to be able to see the body (you know the phenomenon, seeing one's body when one is outside? This can be done at will, going out of one's body and remaining just above it),—around the psychic centre which body is stretched out on a bed, a bench, on the ground, anywhere; you are stretched just above it and from there, consciously, you pull the Force from above, and if you are used to doing it, if your aspiration is strong enough, you get the answer; and then, from there, taking care not to re-enter your body, you begin to push these forces into the body, like that, regularly, until you see the body receiving them (for, the first few moments they don't enter, because the body is quite upset by the illness, it is not receptive, it is curled up), you push them gently, gently, quietly, without nervousness, very peacefully, into the body. But you must not be disturbed by anyone. If someone comes along, sees you stretched out and shakes you, it is extremely dangerous. You must do this in quiet conditions, ask people not to disturb you or better shut yourself up where they can't disturb you. But you can concentrate slowly (this takes more or less time—ten minutes, half an hour, one hour, two hours—depends upon the seriousness of the inner lightdisorder which has set in), slowly, from above, you will concentrate the Force until you see that all inner the body is receiving, that the Force is entering, the disorder is being set right and there is a relaxation in the body itself. Once that is done you can get back and you are cured. This has been done for a sunstroke, which is a fairly violent thing, and also for typhoid fever, and many other illnesses, as, for instance, for a liver which was suddenly upset somehow (not due to indigestion, but a liver which doesn't function properly for the moment); it may also be cured in the same way. There was a case of cholera which was healed like that. The cholera had just been caught, had entered, but was not yet lodged; it was completely cured. Consequently, when I say that if one masters the spiritual force and knows how to use it, there is no malady which cannot be cured… Of course, you will change into say you don't know how to go out of the body, draw the Force, concentrate it, have all this mastery.... It is not very frequent, but it is not impossible. And one can be sure that if one is helped... In fact, there is a luminous ordermuch easier method, it is to call for help. <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwm/04/1531-januarymarch-1951#p5p23</ref>

==Rejecting the Divine Force= Auto Suggestions=== I know casesThe mind has a considerable power of formation and a direct action on the body,and usually one uses this power to make oneself ill... of people who are sick: if they follow For as soon as the routine of least thing goes wrong, the doctor mind begins to shape and medicines build all the catastrophes possible, to ask itself whether it could be this, whether it could be that, if it is going to be like that, and treatment and diseasehow it will all end. Well, they get well; if by some mischance (!) they call on instead of letting the Force and I apply itmind do this disastrous work, one used the more I applysame capacity to make favourable formations—simply, for example, to give confidence to the more terrified they are! They feel absolutely unexpected phenomena and they are terrified: "...What's happening body, to me!" As if tell it that it were absolutely catastrophic. The minute the Force comes and they feel is just a bit of passing disturbance and that itis nothing,... they resist... they become absolutely restless...That isand if it enters a real state of receptivity, the whole system spends its time rejecting disorder will disappear as easily as it has come, and rejecting all one can cure oneself in a few seconds—if one knows how to do that comes, one gets wonderful results. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agendacwm/05/november23-28december-19641953#p12p36</ref>
