The
current definition of health by WHO includes physical, mental and social dimensions
of health. But even a cursory look at the current state of the world reveals
that social health is conspicuous by its absence. There is severe unrest in
almost every country. Crime rate is increasing in almost every country. There
is steady increase in alcohol abuse, drug abuse, human trafficking, child abuse
(physical, psychological and sexual), terrorism, rampant corruption and
breakdown of families.
All
the advances in science and technology have not helped people to enjoy peace of
mind and happiness. The reason is the neglect of spiritual development. Today’s
average man is running without knowing where he is going.
Leading
psychiatrists while trying to manage problems like anxiety, depression and
phobias have realized that man is not just a combination of body and mind but
has a soul as well which survives the death of the body. Specialists in other
fields have also realized that man has a spiritual dimension as well. Many reputed scientists including a few Nobel
Prize winners are convinced about the existence of soul. Hence there is a need
to redefine health and include the spiritual dimension of health.
The
purpose of human life is to grow spiritually and realize our true nature. We
still do not know the exact cause of many diseases. Extensive research in the
field of past life regression has revealed that many health related problems
have their roots in our previous lives. Reincarnation is not a myth but a fact.
Searching for reincarnation research or reincarnation proof will yield a long
list of results.
Mere
redefinition of health by itself will not solve all the problems. But if more
and more people understand the cosmic law of cause and effect and realize that their
actions come back to them they will certainly try to reform themselves. When
leading doctors in every country start organizing seminars, radio talks and TV
shows about the scientific evidence for the existence of soul and reincarnation
people will certainly take interest in the topic.
Doctors
have to play an important role in helping people to enjoy sound health. In
order to do this effectively doctors should first have comprehensive
understanding of health. Physical health cannot be maintained without taking
care of psychological health and psychological health cannot be protected
without tackling spiritual ignorance. Needless to say psychological
disturbances lead to social problems.
Modern
medicine has been a predominantly disease centered and treatment oriented
system. There is a need to change this approach and give primary importance to
prevention of disease and maintenance of health. Environmental sanitation
should also be accorded top priority. It is also desirable to combine modern
medicine with Ayurveda in order to promote holistic health. Ayurveda which is
at least five thousand years old gave the most comprehensive definition of
health.
Humanity
has paid a heavy price for neglecting spiritual development. Another equally
serious threat to world peace is religious fundamentalism. By promoting
scientific spirituality we can counter both the threats and establish a new
world order based on Truth, Right conduct, Peace, Love and Non-violence.
