Money can purchase drugs but mental peace and contentment alone can guarantee health. Medical experts can be hired but life cannot be secured on lease. God incarnates to foster sadhus, it is said. By sadhus, they do not mean the dwellers in Himalayan retreats; they mean the virtuous person who forms the inner reality of everyone of you, the outer appearance being but a mask which is worn to delude yourself into esteem. Everyone is a sadhu, for one is prema swarupa, shanti swarupa, amrutha swarupa (embodiment of bliss, peace and immortality). But, by allowing the crust of ego to grow thick and fast, the real nature is tarnished. By the action of sathsang (the company of God-minded persons), by systematic attention to self-control and self-improvement, one can overcome the delusion that makes one identify oneself with the body and its needs and cravings.
