3. The Mother and the Practice of the Integral Yoga

Fragment ID: 19406

In the last two weeks there has been no improvement in my nervous trouble. I had the belief that the Mother’s look and grace at the Sunday Pranam would ease my situation, but it has not. Shall I undergo medical treatment or rely solely on the Mother’s grace and influence which I shall receive at the Sunday Pranam?

Sunday Pranams are not the only way of receiving Force, one can do it at any time by opening to receive in a quiet concentration. If you can do that, any illness can be cured either at once or, if it is chronic, in time. That should be done in any case. But where there is not the full openness, medical treatment can help as an auxiliary. If you like to consult X, he may be able to understand better your case than by second hand and you can see whether you would care to try any remedies he suggests.
