Therapeutic Force and Healing

Grace and Therapeutic Force [1]

The Divine Grace has certainly done something. I [the Ashram doctor] acted according to your advice, and X felt better the whole day.

It was not the Divine Grace but the Divine Force. If it had been the Grace, it would simply have said तथास्तु [tathāstu] and the thing would be done. As it is, last night I had to work a damned lot for this result — I only hope it will last and complete itself.
