Disease and Fear

1949-09-10

The Mother was speaking to Satyakarma,¹ while Amrita and I were present. She said that once she did not take anything—not even drop of water—for ten full days. Since then she suffered from acidity and it was still continuing. She looked at Amrita and asked him if he remembered in what year it was. “1920,” replied Amrita.

Mother told Satyakarma: “The doctor says you must change your diet. One who normally takes vegetables must take meat and one who is used to meat must change over to vegetables.”

C: “Mother, after some time the doctors will find another remedy.”

Mother: “Of course they will. The most important thing is not to fear at all—under any condition. Most people suffer due to fear rather than the disease. Even if the heart is bad, or there is appendicitis or liver trouble, the way to cure it is to have absolutely no fear and a strong will. Under no circumstances should you have any fear.”
