It is the sun that dwells in the human body in the form of prana and
the eye. When sandhya is not done at prescribed hours, ghosts and
spirits live in the bones of the body; fiends and demons enter the
blood vessels. They gobble up Surya in the shape of knowledge.
The heat of the sun destroys both disease and sins. He who wor****ps
the sun quickly becomes free from sins. It is sin that obscures and
obstructs attainment of knowledge. It is only after the sins have been
destroyed that the knowledge of "You are everything" springs up on its
own.
The outer prana of every being is Surya. Due to the motion of the sun,
blood is polluted on full moon and new moon days. The illnesses like
rheumatism are enhanced.
The [malefic] gaze of the Surya falls on white-gourd melon on
pratipada [first day of bright half of fortnight], the white-gourd
melon suffers decay, and its consumption leads to restlessness.
On the ashtami [eight day of fortnight] the sun acts on coconut and
despoils it, this causes deformity in the intellect which is why he
who eats coconut on ashtami becomes dull-witted.
On the trayoda**** [thirteenth day of fortnight] the sun acts upon
eggplant. Harmful microbes adversely affect the semen; this can ever
lead to loss of progeny.
Eating rotten, decayed, squelchy foods as also those forbidden by the
Shastras, leads to countless diseases and deficiencies; it is the
cause of growth of hospitals in very next town.
