Indra Sen's Correspondence with The Mother

13 September 1946

My health depresses me at times. Periodically there are breakdowns when I feel too weak for movement and action. Would it be of any use trying some medicine? So far I have not tried any treatment, except lithine, Brahmi (an Ayurvedic herb) and lemon juice. I had hoped that the trouble would go away by the working of the higher force and my prayers to you. Is there anything that you consider necessary?

Surely the action of the force is far more effective than any medicine. But sometimes in the physical consciousness, or rather the body consciousness, the faith is not sufficient to secure a sufficient receptivity and in that case, to help this receptivity, some treatment or some medicine may be required.
