| (e) As always: sacrifice begets spiritual: possibilities, rewards and victory! • As the worldly saying goes, "no pain, no gain!" • “It is correctly observed that certain pains are called sacred. Through them the spirit ascends, and there is no other way. We do not know even one instance when the consciousness was able to ascend without bodily pains. Understand how attentive one must be to every manifestation, for with each hour we can expect a transmittal of the highest energies.” (Agni Yoga, 235.) III.

(ii) And avoid: injection treatments if there are oral or other alternatives. • As these medications and treatments will not cure or solve your unexplainable by medical science illnesses! • There is also no reason to take medications which may provide temporary short-term relief—but after long-term use, result in serious health: complications and problems! • Avoid: narcotics, opium-based pain killers (or opioids) and steroids – if better options (with least side effects) are available! (i) “Narcotics, such as opium, are inimical to Agni Yoga.” (Signs of Agni Yoga, 166.) (ii) “… We are definitely against narcotics which calm and deaden the intellect. How, then, will the quality of thoughts, so needed for the future life be developed if we dull it with poison? But medical science is lavish in producing living corpses.” (Hierarchy, 186.) |
