There was a time, I was sick for a long, long time. It was unusual for me. Normally for me, one symptom shows up but before long, it is gone. But this time around, one symptom surfaced, it went away in one hour, and then it reappeared in a couple days. This loop went on and on.
During this time I discovered that every time I pushed myself, I would get sick again on the next day. This was the time when I realized that effort was unnecessary! Effort, which equals ego, was creating the suffering. With this realization the ego dropped naturally!
It turn out this sickness is a great present! Because of it, I had to tune into the body and, with the tuning into the body, I fell into the river of the Tao! Long term anxiety was gone, and instead easiness, peace, and joy infuse everyday life! All is taken care of! Listen to the wisdom of your body, and join the Way!
