Swami Vivekananda has said ” No one can save a person who hires a carriage to go from one street to another, and then complain of diabetes. “

Poor people perspires a lot and its true that perspiration is good for health as  perspiration eleminates the wastes that cannot be treated by kidneys and have accumulated in the body. Now,  poor people perspires a lot because of their nature of work; while going and returning from work; lack of electricity in their home, etc. Therefore poor people are more healthy than rich people who rarely perspires as they usually spend their time in air conditioned everything.

Poor people needs to do a lot of physical activity as such is their nature of work. Also while commuting to and from work, they need to walk, run, stand etc. So overall because of all these they are physically fit. On the other hand rich people rarely do any physical activities as they come sitting in their car and again sit in thier office. In this way, rich people get diseases.

Poor people eat simple seasonal food as they come cheap. And its very true that simple seasonal food such as seasonal fruits and vegetables, lauki (bottle gourd), kaddu (pumpkin), bhaat (rice)  and daal (lentil soup) , etc. are easily digestible and good for health. Whereas, rich people have unseasonal and expensive food such as unseasonal fruits and vegetables, pizzas , burgers, different types of rotis (naan , kulchas etc) . All these are not digested easily and therefore creates diseases.

Poor people dont have much mental worries other than concern for some provisions for food, clothing and shelter. Therefore, they dont develop mental diseases which the rich people have developed due to their whole lot of useless tension such as safe keeping and investing their money.

Poor people also live close to nature  and therefore develop good resistance power against good and bad weather. Whereas, rich people mostly live away from nature, in the midst of artificial everything. Therefore rich people become weak and have lots of diseases.

Poor people dont have whole lot of electronic gadgets , therefore they are saved from the harmful rays that are radiated from these gadgets. On the other hand rich people use whole lots of gadgets and get affected both physically and mentally.

Poor people spend their free time in going for  sitting near rivers and seas etc. Whereas rich people go to movies, parties etc . Therefore rich people get weak physically , mentally and spiritually. And poor people are healthy overall.

But, the biggest irony is when the rich and poor meets, the poor feels inferior and the rich feels superior. Although, the fact is rich are poor and poor are rich. Actually, both are suffering due to ignorance, which is the root of all miseries.

I feel both should spend some of their time in satsang and meditation and therefore get some ” vivek ” (power of discrimination). Only then both  rich and poor would come closer and share their wealth with each other.And, live and die happily.
