How to avoid Pandemics ?

Famous Indian Spiritual Master, Osho was asked about this subject about 40 years ago, when AIDS was spreading, and he answered :

"You are asking the wrong question - The right question should be : How to avoid the fear of death because the epidemic i there ? It's very easy to avoid a virus, but it's very hard to avoid the fear in you and avoid it in the world. People will die more from fear than from epidemic. No virus in the world is more dangerous than fear.

Undestand this fear, otherwise you will become a cadaver before your body dies.

The frightening atmosphere you feel in these moments is a collective madness. It has happened thousands of time and it will happen again. If you don't understand human psychology and fear, your consciousness can be completely lost. You will not even know when you have lost control. Then fear can make you do anything.

Be careful. Don't watch the scary news. Stop talking about an epidemic. Repeat the same thing over and over again, it's self-hypnosys. And fear is a type of self-hypnosys. It causes chemical changes in your body. And if you maintain ot over and over again, it can cause a chemical change so toxic that it can kill you.

During an epidemic, the energy in the world becomes irrational. You can fall into a black hole at any time. Meditation, or rather cerebral pease, mental silence can the create a protective aura into which no negative energy can penetrate."
