NO HEALTH WITHOUT MENTAL HEALTH

no health without mental health
mental health is the description of the way people, think, feel and act." a positive state of mental health is defined by people's ability to work, to view themselves, their relationships, their resources and their vulnerabilities in a reasonable and adaptive manner.
              mental health has been largely seen an 'icing on the cake' by the most people. the refrain is that if people do not have nutrition, shelter or non abusive contexts, how can one think of mental health efforts in the developing world ? if one has lost one's mental health the capicity to work, to love, to think positively, to enjoy, to think and learn clearly, all the material things one has acquired are worth nothing, meaningless and useless and bring no happiness.mental health is important and relevant in day to day life.remember health has no use without mental health because mental health is the center point and the highway to complete well being. in this modern world medical science is going deeper and deeper in to phenomena of mental health and disease, they are becoming aware that each disease has a personality in it; it belongs to the person. so now they say don't treat the disease treat the person, give him meditation to improve the personality and the disease will automatically be removed. don't to concerned with the disease. look into the person, develop his total personality, his way of life, his attitudes, his habit patterns and you will see the drastic change with the passage of time. so just give him meditation and you will see the result.
             somebody asked Buddha ' what is the taste of your buddhahood'. he said 'go and taste the see, and taste it from anywhere, from this bank or from that bank, or go to the middle of the ocean and taste it there, or go to the other shore and you will find the taste always same everywhere, the same taste. buddhahood has one taste, whoever has become a Buddha has come to the same taste. so mental health has the same taste, if your deep root is healthy  then you will be also healthy, mentally healthy. so improve your personality to make life mentally healthy.
