I am going through a state in which the illness seems to have stopped all aspiration, all concentration. Is such a state inevitable?

It need not come if one is able to detach oneself from the body and the sense of illness.

By detaching yourself you must make it easier for the Mother’s Force to work on the body – that is the object.

Reject the movement of the vital physical and affirm the principle of health. The vital desires to be ill – throw out the desire.
