Life is not a bed of roses, they say. But, do we really need a bed of roses to get on with it?


For humor’s sake, I would say that I am glad that life is not a bed of roses. I think I would have a horrible night’s sleep if rose buds were strewn all over my bed. Imagine the rose buds poking all over my body all night. And what of the thorns? Of course, there are many that talk about the numerous thorns that come with each stalk of rose, and try to cheer us up with the thought that life is good mix of pleasure and pain, beauty and whatever the opposite of beauty is, and what not.

All such thoughts while motivating to some cannot move you forward in life, or take you to the next level. Per Theory of Astitvum (TOA), the answer is in your function, in your thoughts, words, and actions. If you make a sincere commitment to choose health in your thoughts, words, and actions at all times and all situations - no exceptions, then a guaranteed response from the Universe Potential will raise you to the next level in health. The healthier you are, the healthier your responses get. The healthier your contributions to your situations are, the happier you get. Health in thoughts, words, and actions is the only path to strength, happiness, success, and progress.

You may then ask, “Ok, got it. But how do I get healthy?”

Simple answer, “Seek health and you shall be flooded with it.”

Per Theory of Astitvum (TOA), health (Dharma) is the nature of the algorithm of Universe Potential (Astitvum). If there is one thing that you will definitely find in plenty upon truly seeking, it is health. In other words “Health” is your nature, your only true reality, because all Universe Potential (Astitvum) is a manifestation of health.

​​Again, Is life a bed of roses, or full of thorns, or a little bit of both? ​​I don’t know, and probably could care less. Life is a gymnasium. And you and I, we are all in this gym. You came in healthy and there is no reason for anyone to leave a gymnasium unhealthy. If there is one promise a gymnasium can make, it is a promise of a better health for all. Get into the gym spirit, seek health, think health, speak health, and do health unto all including yourself. And when you are done with your workout at the life gym and are ready to check out and go back home to your favorite abode, you will know that you are going back healthier than when you arrived at the gym. There will be an awesome wide smile on your face as you draw your last breath. If we all constantly and sincerely choose health in thoughts, words, and actions, there is no reason why this world cannot be a healthier and happier place for you and for all. The beauty in the world is the life in it. In other words, take life out of this world, and there would be no need for any concept of beauty anymore. So every healthy life validates the immense beauty of this world. Our world has always been, is, and will always be the best and most well equipped gymnasium of health of Universe Potential (Astitvum).

Be Healthy, Be Victorious.

Vijayi Bhava!
