Do not think that chanting and prostrating are forms of sufferings, for you should know that no suffering is greater than that of illnesses.
Do you fear the agony of illness? If so, then you should make the most of your time when you are healthy and cultivate with diligence, call forth your fear of illness and cultivate with vigor. Once you are on the path of liberation, your negative karma will be eliminated, and you will no longer be tormented by the sufferings of poor health.
