Life and Death in the Ashram
Medical Treatment [1]
The Mother’s advice to X was given more for his
period of stay in the Asram than as an absolute rule for the future. If a sadhak
can call down the force to cure him without need of medical treatment, that is
always the best, but it is not always possible, so long as the whole
consciousness mental, vital, physical down to the most subconscient is not
opened and awake. There is no harm in a Doctor who is a sadhak carrying on his
profession and using his medical knowledge; but he should do it in reliance on
the Divine Grace and the Divine Will; if he can get true inspirations to aid his
science, so much the better. No doctor can cure
all cases; he has to do his best with the best result he can.
