04 Baldness Cures and Consequences: Vitamins
Severe nutrient deficiencies and extreme stress will shock your body
from head to foot. If the foods you eat contain neither inositol nor
any B vitamins, you may die sooner than you ought to. But, sad to
say, if you have an otherwise normal diet and start popping inositol
and B vitamins, your hair will still fall out. Your hairs know
precisely the date when they're supposed to cash in their chips, and
they'll do it right then, no matter how much inositol you feed them.
Buy relaxation tapes if you're stressed, however.
5. Subliminal Suggestion Tapes and the Power of Mind
The person who made a tape designed to trick your mind into keeping
hair on your head was full-cap bald when he produced the tape and is
full-cap bald to this very day. He's a very fine person and he even
made an effective tape on how to become wealthy through prosperous
thinking. The baldness tape, however, has been withdrawn from the
market.
Not even Krishna consciousness will help you grow hair. Do you have
any idea of the number of bald swamis who have been sighted in Wyoming
alone? Those who still dwell in the physical body are still bald. I
know that most of them wouldn't bother lowering their vibration long
enough to produce hair on their heads--and why should they,
considering the delights they know. But you'd think that some of them
would spontaneously sprout hair once in a while, just for fun.
Ram Dass and Wayne Dyer, very wise bald sages both, have used their
wisdom to talk themselves out of esteeming hair, needing hair, or
wanting hair. In fact, many holy beings float so high that they
realize that hair is the LEAST of their or anyone else's needs, that
it's just more material stuff destined to collect in a porcelain sink,
another illusion trying to convince you it's real, just one more set
of material attachments from which we all, eventually, seek
liberation. And they're absolutely right. Listen to what the Hindu
God Krishna had to say about your physical body. Lord Krishna,
addressing his friend Arjuna (who was whining about his apparent duty
to kill his relatives in an upcoming battle), spoke thus:
While speaking learned words, you are mourning for what is not
worthy of grief. Those who are wise lament neither for the
living nor the dead. Never was there a time when I did not
exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any
of us cease to be. As the emboldened soul continually passes,
in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul
similarly passes into another body at death. The self-realized
soul is not bewildered by such a change. O son of Kunti, the
nonpermanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their
disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and
disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from
sense perception, O scion of Bharata, and one must learn to
tolerate them without being disturbed.
So there. Krishna says you shouldn't even grieve for the apparent
loss of your life, much less the loss of your stupid hair.
Easy for the blue-skinned God to say, with long black locks flowing
down his back.
