Enriching is a healing power
No philosophy is more immediate than enriching. No philosophy is more effective, more powerful, than enriching.
If you have a disease, just start enriching everyone around you and heal yourself! Enriching others will enrich the forgotten parts of you. Disease is nothing but forgetting or disowning some part of you. So the straight method to be healed of any disease is to enrich all the people in your life - especially those who don't listen to you, who don't accept your words!
This is not a joke! The disconnection you experience inside you and the disconnection you experience outside you are not separate! Both are just reflections of each other. The diseased part of your body is the part that has become disconnected from you, which has stopped 'listening' to you. When you complete with and enrich people with whom you experience disconnection, the same disconnection is healed inside you as well.
Especially with the chronic diseases with which you are struggling, diseases that are just not healing, understand that you are suffering from a deep disconnection from life. Enriching connects you back to life. It restores life-energy to the diseased part.
And it not just physical diseases; enriching can lift you out of depression, lethargy and all your mental problems as well. Because that part of your mind which fights with you and refuses to wake up in the morning is no different from the minds of the people outside whom you are experiencing conflict with. Inside you or outside you, it is the same mind!
In the same way, if you have relationship issues, if your investors don't trust you, if your boss is not giving you a raise, if your teacher is not giving you good grades - whatever the problem you have with others, you can solve it by paying attention to that part of your body or mind which is not listening to you. Complete with that part, enrich that part, and you will see the change in all these dimensions of your life.
Actually, it is easier to work on the minds outside you than the one inside you! So start with that. Continuously enrich others and enrich yourself. You will see, just through enriching, even your chronic diseases can be healed.

You are not separate as you imagine
Listen: as long as you see a separation between yourself and others, you can never enrich them.
Your normal love or friendship are like this. You first see a gap, a separation, a difference, between you and the other person, and then you struggle to bridge the gap with love. This is the biggest foolishness! You first create a gap that doesn't exist, and then you work hard to close it.
ADVAITA or non-duality is the ultimate philosophy of Hinduism. It is also the most practical world-view! Please understand - whether you believe it or not, whether you understand it or not, you are NOT separate from others! You are separate from others only at the physical level, but as you go deeper, you will see the distance reducing, the differences dissolving.
For example, at the level of the physical body, you are separate from the other. If you eat spoilt food, only you are going to get sick, because the physical body-boundary is so strong. But if you have a cold (or any air-borne disease), all the people around you may also catch it and fall sick. And if you are carrying a negative thought or vibration, even the people
you interact with at a long distance can be affected by it! As you get subtler and subtler, there is less and less separation between you and others. Ultimately, at the level of Consciousness, it is all just ONE - Advaita!
All our conflicts with others arise from not being aware of this truth. In fact, just as the painful parts of your body are just the forgotten parts of you, your painful relationships are also just the forgotten parts of you!
This is not just a philosophy to think about. It is an immediate solution for all the conflicts in your relationships. So try it today! If you need to bridge the gap between you and your spouse, apply Advaita! If you need help from your brother, apply Advaita. If you need your boss to trust you, apply Advaita. You will see that the neglected and forgotten parts of you, which are present in others, will be enriched.
Enriching is a plan for miracles! It is the most powerful way to keep your inner being awakened to this truth, to continuously experience that everything is part of you. Enriching makes sure that your inner being does not fall asleep and forget or disown some part of you!
Your own inner awakening is ensured by being committed to the inner awakening of all beings in your life. Enlightened beings are enlightened beings because they stand up and continuously cause enlightened beings around them. Incarnations are incarnations because they stand up and continuously cause incarnations all around them!
