Each of us experiences sickness during our lives. Interestingly our body employs a system which tries to keep body fit against illness, that's called immunity. Immunity is an internal defense mechanism that keeps things from causing you harm, sort of a Pure Precept of anatomy – cease things that do harm. When the body is attacked the immune system arises to defend the body from things that may harm it. White blood cells go on the defense and antibodies on the offense. People do all kinds of things to boost their immunity so that they won't be attacked occasionally by illness.
But many times it happens that our immunity, an internal defence system collapses due to several reasons such as lack of nutritional diet or unhealthy food and habits etc, which invites different bacterias to attack our body. Thus we get sick or diseased, many times this reduced immunity can turn to be fatal. Then its very important to strengthen immunity with antibiotics or natural herbs or physical exercises or nutritional diet.
Life doesn't offer us only bodily illness but also psychoemotional maladies and white blood cells and antibodies can't help for that. Circumstances, situations in life are not stagnant they are dynamic, someone who is rejoicing now can be seen morose or stressed after a while. There is one more immunity system within each one of us which protects our mind from such injuries, rejuvenates, purifies and connects it to the God, it's called as spiritual immunity. Sometimes life knocks us very hard, disappointing us, betraying us, negative thoughts prevail in mind without an option of hope. During this time spiritual immunity helps us not to stop these problems but to properly react over them.
Being overly attached to the self and only conscious about sense enjoyment is first symptom of weak spiritual immunity. Such a person is overcome by the destructive bacterias, the anarthas, lead by lust, anger and greed. Infected with such disease one leads his life towards hell(BG 16.21). Just like sometimes bacterias causes death, the person who is infected with these anarthas goes through spiritual death i.e. one forgets his connection with supreme lord as an eternal servant.
There are people who are contented and serene even in the midst of the most negative situations or plateaus of greatness. These are folks with a strong spiritual immune system. Lord krishna talks about them in several verses of Gita, they are the ones who attain real peace in this world and enter eternally blissful kingdom of God at the time of death(2.71-72). In conclusion just like we protect ourselves from getting diseased by immunising our body similarly we must protect ourselves from getting materially infected by immunising our mind and soul with appropriate spiritual practices recommended for this age i.e. hearing and chanting.
