Why do humans need a doctor?

 Why do humans need a doctor?

It had been my “private” curiosity even since I was a kid, and I noticed that all other life forms in its free state RESPOND to any dis_ease by themselves! Their response includes the labour_pain and death. DIY technology 😜( do it yourself).

It led to a search for oddity in humans!

I had to wait beyond youth and even middle age to get convinced that my_own inferences are valid. ( Even now, I am open to corrections with utmost humility+ gratitude. Meanwhile, I liked to share my observations with a few others. Maybe they might have something in it to use🙏😓).

Mind, because of its ability to choose, making its own choices, had to interfere with the in_built response system and its own cellular intelligence embedded in our physiology 🙏.

Most of the time, this cellular intelligence fights an enemy within( like Bharat has been busy with), instead of using its resources to defend from external threats.  Most of the CHRONIC ailments we have, are a result of our bad_choices of response to the needs of our body!( Cravings for junk food 😜. Animals in free state eat responsibly, sensibly and thus remain Healthy, not just disease_free🤣).

If I had no mind right from my birth out of a healthy womb, I may not need a doctor???( A very strange kind of thought 🤔). I looked at a mental health home. Doctors aren't needed for inmates who didn't have any PRE-EXISTING chronic ailments🙏. Their body is free_from their mind( that's why strong and healthy caretakers are employed!).

Next level: did humans ever detach the superfluous interference/meddling of their minds into the sensible functioning of their bodies??? All the roads led to the same destination 🤣…. Desi spiritual giants, when they tamed their physiology to the highest humanly_possible levels, to a certain point where the body doesn't interfere with their “consciousness”( call it by any other name, spirit, atma, being, prana, chaitnya…etc).

Migration to a forest, after 60 is not like migrating to “USA”, or relocating closer to any multi-speciality hospital 😜. Basic qualification itself is compatibility with all kinds of life forms dwelling in a forest, and a self-imposed undertaking “not to tamper with the ecology” of the forest. 

Which is easier to tame? Body, mind or ‘the’ breath?  ( Breath is the only 24/7 connectivity with nature outside of our body!). These 3 are entwined 😜. 

It makes sense to ‘deal’ with the easiest one first🙏.  Human intellect is the most sophisticated gadget for any human. The mind can refuse to see the truth, whereas the intellect can see only the truth😭.

A doctor can give symptomatic relief for any dis-ease. Cure/recovery etc is up to the body🙏. Doctors say at times “the body is not accepting the medicine”.  The mind and its positive emotions might help to persuade the body to “please accept the medicine”. The rarity of such minds makes it seem like a miracle! 

I still don't know why the adage is “a sound mind in a sound body”??? When mind is the culprit to make each human body capable of uniquity of dis-eases😜🤣. Each fellow has a unique ailment, needing a doctor “good or lucky” at diagnosis 🙏. 

My experience is, once the mind gets tamed, body takes care of its own medical expenses 🙏😜… ( maybe, to tame a mind, i have to request my body to undergo a “circus” called “Yoga”… a misnomer 😜. )

Heartily yours,
