Q: As You said, enlightenment causes us to ignore everything such as wealth, illness or a higher position in society. I agree with Your point of view about ignoring wealth, but how about illness? We suffer every minute. Illness causes incredible pain and misery. How can we ignore that?

M: We just don't feel so much suffering the way we did before enlightenment. That's all. We tend to our body as much as we can, we give it as much comfort as it needs, we give it medical care, and so on. But should we have to suffer from illness, our patience, our power of endurance increases, and so the illness doesn't bother us much. I'm not saying that we ignore it completely, but it doesn't bother us that much.

And after enlightenment, many of our illnesses just disappear. It's not a miracle. It's because our super-power Self awakens and regulates some misconstructed parts in our bodies and destroys them. Many people have found themselves with no more cancer even though they were already put on the operating table and the anesthesia needle was already inserted in them. But then the doctors found, to their amazement, that there was no more cancer so they were just pushed outside the operating room again. We don't ignore illness; it just seems to ignore enlightened people.
