While I was living at Meherazad, Eruch would constantly inquire after my health. For years I suffered from nausea, vomiting and sensitive digestion and Eruch would express his concern.
Once we were talking our early morning walk down the Meherazad road when Eruch inquired about my health. Then he said, "Take care of your health. There are three things that you should take care of -- your physical helath, your mental health and your spiritual health. Take care of your physical health through exercise, nutrition and medicine. Take care of your mental health through good and positive thoughts, good words and good deeds."
Eruch stopped and did not say anything more. I do not know whether he was thinking about what to say on spiritual health or whether he deliberately stopped to see if I was alert and would ask him about the most important subject. As Eruch continued to be quiet, I asked him, "What about spiritual health? Shouldn't good thoughts, good words and good deeds take care of mental health as well as spiritual health?" Eruch said very slowly, as was his nature, "No, for spiritual health you have to go beyond good and bad. You must have only 'God' thoughts, 'God' words and 'God' deeds. Most of the time we are caught between the opposites of good and bad, which may be necessary for the running of society or an institute. However, when you go beyond good and bad and cultivate God thoughts only, a time will come when your words will also be God's. You will become his medium for carrying out his deeds. That's how it is.'"
I was dazed by what Eruch was saying. Although I grasped it intellectually, I had not the faintest idea how to apply it in my daily life. Feeling exasperated, I asked Eruch, "How do I achieve that?"
Matter of factly he replied, "Invoke His Grace. Beg Him, fall at His feet, and remember Him constantly. Do all this sincerely. Have a sincere your heart for that goal only. Let this be the single and most important desire of your heart that burns all other desires to ashes. When you do that, then you are taking care of your spiritual health. When you are spiritually healthy, His Grace is bound to descend and you become Him. That's how it is."
