Cure of Diseases

1949-08-11

This morning while combing Sri Aurobindo's hair. Mother said that when she was a child she used to get pimples on the throat, from time to time. She would simply rub them out. In that connection an outstanding doctor of France once told her that a strong will can cures human diseases. Medicine merely helps by increasing one's faith. By medicine one is convinced and that adds to the faith.

Mother added that her own experience also was that the best way of curing diseases was to develop a strong will. She said it was very interesting to see how it worked physiologically. Some kind of white cells form and fight against diseases. These cells increase when a strong will is exerted.
