WAY To Happiness

HEALTHY BODY AND A PEACEFUL MIND LEADS TO BEAUTIFUL    

AND HAPPY LIFE.

 TO HELP PEOPLE, TO BE NOT ONLY HEALTHY, BUT HAPPY TOO.

THAT IS A MISSION OF MY LIFE.

I, DR. ASHOK G. BALSEKAR, BELIEVE IN NOT JUST TREATING A PART OF BODY BUT THE MIND AND SOUL TOO…..THE WHOLE PERSON!

I am a family doctor by profession. I treat diseases like cold,cough ettc . I have been practicing for last 40 years.

After 25 years of my practice, one fine day, it stuck me that, what I do is treating only a part of their problem.

Are they content ? AM I content?  The answer that i got from myself was a big no. That was when i decided to do something about it.

I did a diploma in counselling.

I started Counselling Practice and started Counselling patients for the problems in their personal, professional, family life. That was when I realized that Happiness is not something u get out of material things but it is when you make others happy. It is boundless. It is something that doesn’t cost you except your time.

 Brahma, The Creator, when he created a Human Being, his Ultimate Creation,  felt a little insecure as humans are going to be exactly like him. So, he wanted to keep them busy trying to find Happiness. He wanted to hide it where they wouldn’t find it easily. So he hid that inside them only. For he knew that Humans will look for Happiness everywhere except inside them. We all may know it lies within but no one knows the key.

 Key is –Homeostasis….Equilibrium …of Body and Mind.

Material things may give pleasure..but not Happiness..

I come across patients who after being treated for their ailment are still not happy. They may be relieved of the agony and pain of their Disease. But behind that Disease there is a person who is still suffering, still  has a pain due to problems in their personal or professional life. And these problems can’t be discussed or talked about openly with anyone. And most often, their ailments are Psychosomatic.

It’s an overt manifestation of covert Unhappy Mind.

Unless people are happy, they do not lead a good Quality Life. And all of us strive and struggle for a good quality of life.

Illness is thus only a part of their problem.

Problems perceived by them aren’t going to be resolved unless they get counselled by the professional Counsellor.
