The building block of mind and matter remains the same and are, therefore, inter-alia interactive and responsive to each other. As explained by Swami Vivekananda, mind is a finer body within the gross body. The physical body is, as it were in applied sense, only the outer crust of mind. In fact, in one sense even mind is termed as matter. It is an established fact that if one stops eating and tries to survive only on water intake, say for about a fortnight, eventually mind becomes virtually dysfunctional. As one begins consuming food, mind regains strength, and one’s memory revives. It is, therefore, the food, which is nothing but matter that nourishes the mind, but for which it would not be doing its round. In a way, it may not be unfair to surmise that food becomes mind. It is in this sense it is said that mind is matter. So goes our native saying: “Anna se buddhi, jala se prana”, meaning that “food nourishes the mind and water sustains life.”
It may not be out of place to mention here that matter, though having a visible solid form-presence, at subtle level however, it is nothing but energy-formation. Mind too, though termed matter; it doesn’t have a form-presence. It rather is a pure energy-formation. Of course, the energy formations marked with the two — mind and matter — would vary. So, both mind and matter being energy-formations carry the scope to be inter-convertible and being interconnected. This, guided by the force of consciousness available at all levels of existence, be it matter or nature driven pure energy-structure, forms the basis for the two remaining interactive. No wonder, mind gets affected if something goes wrong with our health mechanism. Again, if mind gets anyway disturbed and stressed, it has related bearing on our health status.
In recent past, a good number of childless couples came looking for their progeny prospects. All of them had undergone necessary tests and had been declared medically fit for child bearing. Many of them had even tried IVR options, but in vain. What was commonly in evidence in all the charts was that they all suffered from one or the other mental and emotional malady. That had related bearing on their body-chemistry. It will be interesting to mention here that the parameters pointing to a particular attitudinal problem, simultaneously reflects one or other physiological aspects of a being.
It will be pertinent to note here that in terms of ayurveda, the three body-humors mix — Kafa (mix of water and earth element), Pitta (fire element), and Vayu (air element) — define the health status of a being. These elements need to be in perfect balance for a healthy body. And they being beyond the purview of modern medical science would not fit into their test parameters. Practitioners of alternate medicine — Homeopathy or Ayurveda — can figure out imbalance if any in body-humor mix, and fix them.
It can also be figured out with a fair amount of precision through a reading of a person’s astrological chart. Based on analysis of their charts, they were accordingly advised to work upon their attitudes. Simultaneously, they were also referred to a homeopath for treatment. Following which, majority of them had children. The fate of remaining few is not known because they never reverted back.
let us look at the astrological pointers of some of these cases. In one case, the lady was born in Aries lagna. Its lord Mars occupied another fiery sign leo, where from it formed unholy alliance with Moon and Neptune. It pointed to an impulsive, aggressive, irritable, impatient, and intolerant person suffering from inferiority complex. The same parameter points to excessive fire element, which implied excess of acid formation. The Sun was placed adverse to Venus implying volatile emotionality. In terms of health it implied imbalanced Kafa element. Within a year after subjecting to remedial measure, she conceived and had a baby.
In another case, Mars is conjunct Moon as well as Mercury, all planets occupying an airy sign. It again points to imbalanced fire and air humors. Added to that is combust Venus meaning emotional volatility as well as Kafa imbalance. This lady conceived after a year after taking corrective initiative.
In the third case, the Sun is placed adverse to Jupiter implying swaggering ego. Read together with Venus ill-disposed off to Mars also points to imbalanced fire and cough elements, making the person vulnerable to having a sluggish liver, and high blood pressure. Following treatment, she too conceived.
