In 1948, the World Health Assembly defined health as “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” In 1986 the World Health Organization in the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion said health is “a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities.” Classification systems such as the WHO Family of International Classifications (WHO-FIC) (composed of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD)) also define health.

There are five main aspects of health. They are:
· Ill-Health
· Average Health
· Normal health
· Super-normal Health
· Supra-normal Health
Cure of Ill-Health:
The first main aspect is the cure of ill-health i.e. curing those who are suffering from some disease of the body and mind either acute or chronic.
Mind is not merely the mind known to psychology. Mind has its origin in the Mind Divine, the Eternal Mind. In case of most human beings, the soul also known as âtmâ in some languages of India, is a spark of the Eternal Mind i.e. it has separated from the Eternal Mind and is not linked to it. In case of a few it is like a ray, from the Eternal Mind. Rarely, very rarely, is it like a beam of light of the Eternal Mind. This mind – called the soul or âtmâ – is not yet known to psychology or to parapsychology, but it is within every human being and sustains the human personality.
Imbalance arises within and between one or more of the three aspects of the human personality, namely, the body, the mind known to psychology i.e. the usual human mind and the soul. How to bring about the balance is one aspect of health? It can be termed the curative aspect of health, leading to healing, at least as intended by nature for human beings.
Average Health:
The second main aspect of health is to maintain average health. Average health is that state of health where the human being is not confined to bed, yet some form of disease – usually a chronic disease – lurks within the body.
Most human beings walking about are suffering from one or more physical chronic complaints. There are very few of us who are not suffering from any physical chronic complaint. Most of us are susceptible to some complaint which becomes chronic or acute in time. Notice the myriad of non prescription medications that are purchased everyday. The roots of that susceptibility can be in the human mind known to psychology or even in the mind which is not yet known to psychology i.e. the soul. Between the human mind and the spark of the Eternal Mind within everyone – the soul or âtmâ – there are veils of thought forms of the past of this life as well as of past lives.
The chronic ailments that have manifested within the body and are the source of bodily symptoms must be controlled so that average health can be maintained. The present day treatments available are unable to cure the chronic ailments but are able to keep the symptoms under check. Examples of chronic ailments are arthritis, gout, diabetes, allergies and other conditions.
Normal Health:
The third main aspect of health is to aim at making average health grow towards normal health. Normal health is quite different from average health. Norm means the Law. Norm, to say the least, is balance in a human personality at the physical and mental levels in keeping with the laws of nature – physical, psychological and parapsychological. Normal health can be defined as the state of health intended by nature for all living creatures including man. It is the state of health arising through the right use of the two basic instincts – the instinct of self-preservation and the instinct of procreation.
Laws of nature in general govern all the biological creations which are uninfluenced by human beings. They are controlled and canalized towards normal health through the two basic instincts and the various sub-instincts emanating from them. Human beings are not controlled and canalized only by these instincts. This is because of the state they have evolved unto or revolved around or devolved into through the use or misuse of the freedom of will.
Those who have evolved in the right direction have automatically grown unto normal health from average health. In case of human beings, the state of normal health requires control not only over the instinctive forces but also over their desires and ambitions. Besides, it requires the canalization of the human energy inward towards what is right, at least from the higher human and humane points of view.
Super-Normal Health:
Beyond the state of normal health, there are two distinct trends. One is the trend outward, going after fulfilling desires and ambitions. The other is the trend inward, beyond the two main instincts i.e. self preservation and procreation as well as other desires and ambitions. This inward trend leads towards the source of desires and ambitions, right unto the spiritual source.
The first trend, which is outward, is possible for most human beings. When linked with their health, under favorable circumstances, the outward trend can develop their bodies, and even minds. Backed by destiny, it can help them grow towards the state of health which is better than normal health. They can become proficient in some field of physical and mental culture. They can even become champions in one field or another. This is more than normal health, but it is backed by desires and ambitions. It is the state of health acquired by athletes and champions in various fields of sports, gymnastics and body building in general. Such people can develop the body and the mind further unto what can be termed super-normal health.
Success in achieving super-normal health also depends upon environmental factors and internal factors of biological inheritance and destiny. If one has not inherited the appropriate gene pool, no amount of physical training is going to enable one to achieve super-normal health. However, even when these factors are favorable, this state of health stops after a certain stage of physical and mental fitness is achieved. This is because apart from other factors, sustaining normal health depends upon the inherent time factor that one is born with. For instance amongst dogs and cats the time factor limits their life cycle to about 15 years. Once they have reached the pinnacle of health, they remain at that state up to half their life cycle after which their bodies begin to deteriorate. In human beings at present time the life cycle for many in developed countries is around 70 years. So when the time factor kicks in, then however much one may try to improve one’s health or even sustain youthful vigor, one’s health begins to decline. This decline is termed senility or senile decay.
Supra-Normal Health:
There is another factor, another foundation or platform, for higher than super-normal health. It is the inward trend. To achieve Supra-Normal health, one grows from normal health to super-normal health. But this growth is achieved not merely by focusing on the body. One has to exercise the body but the physical training has to be linked with the super-normal mental aspect. When one links the physical development of the body with a growing consciousness, then the more one develops, the more humble one becomes. One is not motivated to satisfy one’s ego by asserting it and trying to dominate people and situations.
Such a state of super-normal health grows beyond desires and ambitions to the source of desires and ambitions and can with sustained effort lead one right up to the spiritual source. If one succeeds in reaching that spiritual source during the inward process, one’s mind will begin to change. Changes in the mind will cause changes in one’s body. This is more so if one is graced by the spiritual force. As one grows unto the higher levels and planes of consciousness, the normal body also needs to grow to remain in tune with the super-normal levels and planes of consciousness. As part of the process of growing spiritually physiological changes occur within the bodies of such beings changes.
In fact, when such physiological changes occur, they can lead to imbalances resulting in ill-health. At such time, the changes need to be managed by following the right way of life linked with the laws of health, as well as the way of life based on spiritual principles and laws, necessary to sustain the process of growing inward. If the body and mind are not properly managed when such changes occur, one can fall ill and may not even recover. This is what happens to many who do not know how to manage their state of health under such circumstances. They need to be helped by those who know how to balance the imbalance which occurs as they grow near the spiritual foundation or the source.
When some individuals who are striving for Supra Normal health reach the spiritual foundation, even at the level which is nearest the material foundation they may at times be required to manifest their achievement outward through their human personality. When this is required of them then their human personality i.e. their physical and mental, states begin to change from the trend inward towards the trend outward. As the trend within their consciousness changes from going inward to going outward, once again they experience difficulties. This is because although the two trends have the same foundation their movements are in opposite directions. The opposing directions can and does frequently cause friction. It is possible to overcome that friction with positive effort.
In such cases, once the trend outward gathers momentum, the body becomes super-normally healthy. Such a state of super-normal health is completely different from the super-normal health founded on desires and ambitions of human beings growing from normal health. With right effort one can grow through the super-normal health founded on spiritual values unto the fifth aspect of health.
The fifth aspect of health is what can be termed Supra-normal health. This is the state of physical and mental which is achieved if it is so willed by the spiritual powers behind the outward process. In supra-normal health, the physical personality and the mental personality both become an instrument of the Divine. This state of the human personality i.e. the body and mind is beyond sainthood, growing unto sagehood and seerhood. Such was the state of health of High Beings or Avata
