Spiritual Healing
Question:
1. For
years, our family has been mired in distress. My twenty-five-year-old elder
brother lives a completely purposeless existence. He has abandoned his studies,
takes interest in nothing, and spends his hours either wandering aimlessly or
sleeping. At times, he displays infantile behavior; at other times, violent
rage seizes him, even prompting him to physically strike our parents and utter
foul abuse. He goes unwashed for days. Frequently, bouts of involuntary
laughter overtake him, leaving him chuckling aimlessly without cause. Extensive
medical interventions have yielded zero improvement; treatments continue, yet
his deterioration remains static. He was once an intellectually brilliant
student, passing Matriculation in the first division; however, securing a
second division in Intermediate barred him from entering engineering college.
This failure dealt him a devastating psychological shock. He enrolled
successively in BSc and BCom programs, abandoning each after the first year.
Having achieved no degree over six wasted years, he has discarded education
entirely. We suspect black magic, though we are financially comfortable and
lack nothing material.
2. My
brother-in-law cannot sustain focus in any enterprise. He sold his commercial
shop, secured employment two months later, and resigned within fifteen days;
presently, he remains completely idle. If questioned, he reacts with hostility.
His obsessive scrupulosity is severe: he washes his hands continuously for
fifteen minutes, takes over an hour to bathe, and perceives every object as
ritually defiled (nāpāk). Impart a spiritual litany that my elder sister
can easily recite.
Answer:
A single visualization practice is prescribed to
resolve both conditions. At night prior to falling asleep, close your eyes and
visualize a luminous screen standing directly before you, upon which the
inverted portraits of your brother and brother-in-law appear. Through the eye
of inward imagination, behold their images displayed upside down; the moment
this mental image stabilizes, use your focused willpower to turn the inverted
portraits upright, and then conclude the session. Maintain this meditative practice
uninterruptedly for one full month.
