Harih Om Tat Sat. To face the Covid - 19 spread, we have taken to social distancing and lockdown measures. We shall observe these steadfastly, but shall also strive for inner redress by enhancing our defence considerably.

Mind is far superior to the body. Therefore, inner defence is far more powerful than the external one. All civilizational achievements are, no doubt, the glory of the mind and intelligence. Hence, it is imperative to harness our mind and intelligence and encircle the Covid virus spread, making it powerless. It will not be discreet to set aside this inner means, thinking that it is not perceptible.

How is the inner defence harnessed?

Our fear is that the gross body will be attacked by the subtle virus. But the subtler mind within the body has ample power to encircle these viruses and render them powerless. Does not Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 2 verse 24) describe the inner horizon and the I, the inmost Self, as uncuttable, unburnable, unwettable and undriable? Realize the import of this message well and being fearfree, make the Covid virus multitudes ineffective to the core.

Infection is in the body, not in the mind at all. Acknowledging this truth that your mind is free of infection, harness It and earnestly strive for the inner defence. Even if one in a thousand tries, the present crisis will be extinct. At least for half hour daily, sit in a place, close your eyes, and reflect upon the wind sheath and the morepervading space in you. The invincible Self-presence, denoted by the term I, is still inward, the inmost!

Is not the whole visible creation floating in this inner Self-expanse like the dream world? Yes, the entire physical world is held within you, the I. Know that the Covid -19 virus colonies are also within your mind's inner perceptional range already. By merging the mind and intelligence into the expanse of the Self, the Corona virus in millions will be devolved and extinct. This is the glory of chidaakasha, the sentient sky within. Human alone can be aware of this and employ it effectively.

Use this occasion to enhance your faith and confidence. Understand that you are connected to the Sovereign Supreme, as is the earth connected to the infinite space, and hence to the Supreme Sustainer!

For the followers of Sanaatan Dharma, as in the holy land of Bharat, the power of Dharma dawned in Kurukshetra millennia ago, the majesty and grandeur to contain and extinguish the Covid-19 blaze amply reign. Be assured. No devastation will befall. Feel safe and be poised.

In the service of the Nation
