In this letter, Gurudev explains how through the path of devotion we can cultivate the right attitude to face illnesses and bereavements:
It is body’s dharma to give us some joys and much sorrows, often in life. This will go on, inspite of us and the doctors.
Let us –
Lift our attention from the body to the Lord,
Employ the body to serve His cause in love and devotion,
Dedicate it to study and abhyas till we reach Him.
