Two years ago I had a strong strain of the eyes. Medical 
treatment gave no result. So with your consent I left the matter to the Mother to cure it. Those days I did not even have faith except in some vague mental form. I resumed my reading and writing which had been given up earlier. And lo! I was cured. Why do I not have the same result now?
One gets often a result more easily when the consciousness is in the mental plane than when it is down in the physical.
