Mataji Nirmaladevi has many times described why we are ill, why we have some disease. How can we really cure it etc. Following is the text of one of her lectures -
In nutshell we must remember, believe and experience that sahajayoga is the only real way to treat our physical body, mental element , conscious, subconscious mind, and the spirit, the self atma, which is attacked by many external , unwanted, bad factors.
"When this center is out of gear, first of all your anti-bodies are reduced. There are so many medicines which reduce your anti-bodies. But people take it because it gives them a little relief for the time being.
But they become then prone to other diseases because if the anti-bodies are reduced, then you cannot find [may Shri Mataji mean “fight”?] the other, other diseases and the strength is reduced. Now, in all our medicines, we forget that we are a complete being, we are not just a physical being, but emotional being, and also a mental being, and above all, a spiritual being.
Now when we forget this, we are only worried about the physical side of it. And when our physical side is in trouble, we want to do everything under the sun; but we do not know by doing that we are spoiling our emotional side. By spoiling our emotional side, it can be very dangerous, that medicines, which reduce the anti-bodies in the body, can lead you to madness, ultimately.
First they give you giddiness, must you sleep a lot, and after that too much sleeping, too much of these medicines, can cause madness. Because you are thrown into the left side and you can be attacked and you can become a mad person.
So these medicines are so dangerous that people without understanding the complete nature of man just try to treat part of it.
In Sahaja Yoga we, as he said, I do not take any medicines, My …. as Kabira has said, “I do not take any medicines, for me Parabrahma is the one who is my Vaidya, He treats me”.
And is a fact, now the time has come to prove what Kabira has said, what Nanaka has said, what Adi Shankaracharya has said, what Christ has said. There is no need to take medicine to cure this centre."
