Born Complete – The Power of Unconditional Consciousness
Dr. Baba Steve Bedi, in his profound book Cancer Cure Yourself, writes that every human being is born whole and complete. A newborn child knows neither greed nor fear; it lives in the pure joy of existence. This natural state of awareness — free from conditions, labels, and expectations — is what he calls Unconditional Consciousness.
As life unfolds, however, society begins to shape us. Parents, teachers, and peers unknowingly start programming the mind — teaching what is “good” and “bad,” what brings “success” or “failure.” Slowly, this pure awareness becomes clouded. We begin chasing wealth, power, and recognition, forgetting that peace was our original nature.
Dr. Bedi says, “When man becomes a slave to his desires, he becomes a beggar before his own mind and body.” The body starts commanding the mind, and the soul’s silent voice fades away. The result is stress, anxiety, and disease — symptoms of what he calls Conditioned Unconsciousness.
To return to balance, we must reclaim our inner stillness. By witnessing our thoughts without judgment and by freeing ourselves from attachments, we reconnect with that same innocent consciousness we were born with — the space where love, healing, and peace naturally exist.
