They confirmed the association with higher mortality risk from cancer and heart disease. In addition they indentified new associations with higher risk of death from most of the leading causes of death in the us. Such as diabetes, influenza/pneumonia, Parkinson’s disease and lives disease.

Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta

Thus you see that whatever might be our natural propensities, we are led to an entirely different way of valuing things when we analyze our environment . we find that this so called life, this combination of body and soul, is not so desirable a thing. I am naturally deathless love of matter does not enable me to love God. In my true nature. I am only a dweller in this body, the body and myself are not one and the same. It I because I forget this fact that I identify myself with the body, bring myself down to the most material condition, and regard myself as a being three and a half cubits in length, full of weakness , physical and mental.

Such analysis can direct the mind of man towards his own real nature and towards Him who is his real friend though eternity Madhavahrya says that though the universe is made up of three factors matter , souls and God-still these are independent existence. Our goal is God. Real happiness and real wisdom . He alone can give, In order to go to Him we must go away from the world we belong to God and not to matter since we are spirit. how are we go to God? This world this universe, is infinite in every way. Its age is eternal, and its extents is infinite: ever the swiftest locomotive engine can never take me out of space. But in order to go to God I must go our of the world, because God is extracosmic. How? Here all Arya Philosopher agree Sri Madhav says: I am distinct from the world, so I can separate myself from it by closing the gateway fo my sense . thus I can go towards God. Let me analyze a portion of the world to find out its nature for it is like understating the nature of the ocean by analyzing a few drops of its water . take for instance , the chair before me, it has from, hardness, etc; and from touch and taste exist so long as thee are eyes ,skin, and tongue, by which we perceive them, in this way, it the world is full of phenomena, no phenomenon can exist without the worr3sponding sense of perception I too must be one of the factors by which all these have come into existence, if I can separate myself in any way form these then the world of phenomena will vanish curtsey The universe and man

 

Vedanta is the essence of Vedas.

According to Vedanta, Brahm is the ultimate reality.

There is only one, everywhere brahm.That is infinite,formless. Brahm manifests itself as the universe and the individual beings through its inscrutable power of maya. Thus the one becomes many.

When Brahm is associated its maya, it is called God , or Ishwara.All human beings are divine and the real nature of all is the Atman, which is the infinite, eternal, pure and identical with Brahm. They are not sinner , they make mistakes and suffer because of ignorance and the ignorance goes away with the knowledge of self. Bondage and freedom are in mind. The goal of human life is to realize God and the purpose of religion is to teach one how to manifest the divinity within.

But, if He exists?

I drive joy There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I derive 4m.
