THE BENEFIT OF SICKNESS
Being sick is an opportunity to experience yourself in a new way.
Do you understand and accept this opportunity readily? Or are you
unable to take advantage of it, too distracted by the illness?
If that is the case, then you need to take a closer look at yourself, to see
where another kind of sickness might lie.
Just as the outward cure for sickness involves going to a hospital,
seeing a good doctor, getting a comfortable bed and eating healthy
food, the internal cure is the same. I need to go the Soul World,
where the Supreme Doctor resides, rest in the comfortable bed
of His remembrance, and eat the nourishing food of pure
and positive thoughts.
Sickness is the chance to teach the mind to remain independent of the
physical state and so connect with your inner resources of peace and
silence. This is the ultimate cure.
