Satnaam Satnaam Satnaam

From Dassan Dass ji:

Jagmit asked us a question about three illnesses mentioned in gurbani (teene taap), here is the correct answer to his question.

The three illnesses are aadhi, biaadhi and upaadhi.

Aadhi means all mental sicknesses.

Biaadhi means all physical sicknesses,
and upaadhi means all your physical fight with the outside world, your quarrels with your family, friends , outside world.

Mental sicknesses are five demons - kaam, krodh, lobh, moh and ahankar.
These five demons sitting inside your body make you mentally sick.  For example, those who indulge in krodh(anger) , then krodh becomes their mental sickness - when you become angry then you burn yourself from inside.

How these demons hurt you and make you mentally sick is described in the Anand Sahib Katha (www.Satnaam.Info)
You should read it to get a more deeper understanding of how these five demons become your mental sicknesses.

These five demons make you mentally sick, then you go in deep depression, the depression makes you physically sick. Then you contract fatal diseases, such as heart problems, diabetes, cancer, and all kind of other such diseases.

This is because the five demons make you do stupid things so you end up paying for your own deeds so these sicknesses follow in your life.

The third illness is quarrelling with the outside world, such as your differences with your parents and family members, leading to arguments and eventually fighting becomes a chronic sickness.

This brings pains, sufferings and sorrows to you and to your family and all connected.

At higher levels it leads to fights with the outside world and leads to rivelary, wars, overpowering each other, murders, stealing, corruption, malpractices hatred , anmosity, terrorism, etc leading to abuse and higher level fights.

All these illnesses lead to the destruction of mankind, first at an individual level, then at the society level, country level and international levels.

In conclusion, aadhi, biaadhi and upaadhi covers all sicknesses and sickness leads to destruction.

Satnaam simran is the only way to win over these illnesses so please focus on your simran.
