To be more specific, it is the form of selfishness called passion, whether conscious or unconscious,
which is the fruitful cause of disease –
unconquered violent passion, such as hatred, anger, lust, etc.
Any such passion, mental or physical, shakes the lower constitution of man; it escapes from the control of the guiding hand of the higher part of his being, changing the direction of flow of the pranic life-currents, condensing them here, rarefying them there.
It thus interferes with the normal, easy workings of nature, which in this connection means health.
In fact, selfishness is at the root not merely of most disease, but of most evil-doing, and both are originally caused not by unconquerable but by unconquered passions.
