Chapter 61Control of Desires

She must take the resolution to get well, otherwise she will never be all right.§

* The body is cured if it has decided to be cured.

* The body should reject illness as energetically as we reject falsehood in the mind.

* In order to be cured, my child, not only is it necessary to stop all these unseemly practices completely, but it is necessary to get rid of all these unhealthy desires from your thought and sensation, for it is desires that irritate the organs and make them ill. You must ruthlessly clean up everything and your will is not strong enough for that; invoke my will, call it sincerely and it will be there to help you. You are right when you say that with my help you will surely be able to conquer. That is true, but you must sincerely want this help and let it work within you and in all circumstances.

(A sadhak asked the Mother to use her spiritual power to cure a serious illness.)

The power cannot work if you have no control over your desires.
