Both the materialistic idea of possession of money and its ascetic rejection do not do justice to the spiritual value of wealth. Logically wealth belongs to humanity, metaphysically to the Divine. Money has to be won back from the clutches of falsehood for service to the Truth. An appreciation of the true value of money is needed in education and counselling.

Of all the disciplines of knowledge developed by mankind, the foremost is that which deals with health and well-being. Without the human body nothing tangible can be achieved in this earth of ours. We need to be in a mode of well-being to enjoy life, to enjoy the earth, to be happy and contented. Unfortunately, the forces of discord, dissonance and division need to wreak havoc in the earth and whatever medium they might choose to express themselves, it is in the final analysis, the human body which becomes the battling ground for their action. It was therefore not surprising that Āyurveda, the ancient discipline of health and healing, was intuitively constructed by the great Vedic ṛṣis through revelatory illuminations from the Superconscient, the perennial Wisdom-base. After perhaps more than a millennium of its inception, the reasoning intelligence stabilised itself to a point where evidence-based health practices could develop, paving the way for modern medicine. However, a closer scrutiny reveals that quite a significant number of milestones of modern evidence-based medical research has actually corroborated the great intuitive insights of the ancient ṛṣis. (It is a known fact that the only correct psycho-pharmacological agent to treat schizophrenia till the 1950s was the Āyurvedic drug Sarpagandha, Rawalfia Serpentina).

Fear is the basic phenomenon behind illness. A conquest of fear per se is needed for healthy living. One of the most dynamic means to overcome fear is to learn to conquer the fear of death. One can be trained to react to death without fear and remain unperturbed. Death should not be invited but faced courageously.
