“Fear is the biggest cause for illness. When you have slight temperature, you start imagining that it is the beginning of some serious fever. You say to yourself someone whom you knew had also a slight increase of temperature, which later became serious and led to complications and so, you become more prone to illness than formerly. Think rather of the instances where fever was prevented or overcome; think of the Grace of the Lord that restores and saves.

Resolve that relying on His Grace, you shall be free from illness from this moment. Transfer the faith that you have in drugs to God; put your trust, not in medicine, but in Maadhava. I am astounded at the number of people resorting to tablets and tonics. Resort to prayer, to saadhana, japam and dhyaanam. They are the vitamins you need; they will restore you. No tablet is as efficacious as Raamnaam. I shall give you Vibhuthi (sacred ash) and that will cure you.”
