Fig. 17. The blind man and the lame man.
"1
A patient went to a doctor. He prescribed him a medicine.
The patient went home. He thought to himself, "Oh, what kind of medicine has been prescribed for me by the doctor? Will it cure me?" He took the medicine with this type of doubtful mind. Unfortunately, the patient vomited immediately."
"What does it mean? The mind or thinking is the source of the power of the activity of the human being. The patient is treated psychologically. The medicine can be effective only when it is taken with a faithful thinking. The people of the world also require psychological treatment. The faith and belief have a dominant place in the process. It is also known as devotion. This should be preceded by the knowledge. The ignorance - based faith is a blind faith. It is very bad. One should keep away from it. The patient will be cured of his ailment if he takes the medicine as per diagnosis
