O seeker for the Truth!

There are two ways of healing sickness, material
means and spiritual means. The first is by the use of
remedies, of medicines; the second consists in praying to
God and in turning to Him. Both means should be
used and practiced.

Illness caused by physical accident should be treated
with medical remedies; those which are due to spiritual
causes disappear through spiritual means. Thus an illness
caused by affliction, fear, nervous impressions, will
be healed by spiritual rather than by physical treatment.
Hence, both kinds of remedies should be considered.
Moreover, they are not contradictory, and thou shouldst
accept the physical remedies as coming from the mercy
and favor of God, who hath revealed and made manifest
medical science so that His servants may profit
from this kind of treatment also. Thou shouldst give
equal attention to spiritual treatments, for they produce
marvellous effects.

Now, if thou wishest to know the divine remedy
which will heal man from all sickness and will give him
the health of the divine kingdom, know that it is the
precepts and teachings of God.l Guard them sacredly.
