Injuries of the Soul

 

Injuries are of various kinds. Being an elaborate study very few give attention to its details.

1. Injuries born along with the body – Some injuries are in the body which we later identify but of no use. For instance, for a poor child his poverty is born along with him and he cannot do anything.

2. Injuries received from others – This is some hopeful one and some remedy for a injury of this sort can be sought out. When others hurt, it can be healed with time as it is said “time is best medicine for any disease” but the scar remains and can cause pain sometimes.

3. Injuries received by one’s own deeds –  Sometimes one gets injuries due to own doing . Maybe hurting someone at the first place and now receive an injury as an appropriate reward.

4. Injuries received as a reward – Don’t be confused. I mean a very common point, the injury received on performing his own duty sincerely or by doing some good deed for someone else.

Injuries of the body are often forgotten but those of the soul remain intact and take the form of grievances. Not only do they stay but cause pain each time you remember it. But this is also true that pain gives birth to beauty and a best art is produced in the worst of the times.It is sorrow which makes human eye to look at nature at its utmost beauty. It was pain and sorrow which enabled Milton to write Lycidas. So maybe pain is good and is a source of creation. On the whole pain and injuries go hand in hand and should be accepted probably invited in order to obtain the creator’s creating power.

Allopathic and Homeopathic medicine considers all injuries differently and treats it differently however Sarvapathic medicine (almighty) deals our injuries of the soul as a starter to the vehicle by which beautiful works of art are created. Hence, welcome the injuries of the soul in life.

It’s not me but several great men like Charles Lamb, John Milton, A J Cronin say and as their works portray it.
