Suddenly Dr. Reid uttered these words. God is
great.
The incident created a deep impression on the associate doctors, nurses, compounders and the patients all-round and began to say: "We have full trust in God."
My Atma has awakened after it was asleep in delusion. After 12 noon, on Sunday, I was engrossed fully in the meditation and chanting the Navakara Mantra.
The terror and acuteness of the ailments diappeared after 12 noon; there was some little ease in the pains of the suffering. The doctors therefore forgot the talk of operation. As my physical state had gone unbelievably calmed down, they did not find it advisable to undertake the risk of the operation.
A state of two opposites arose for the doctors. They therefore resolved that the decision may be taken by the civil surgeon Dr. Sir Night.
As soon as Dr. Night came at 8 a.m. on Monday for duty, Dr. Reid, Dr. Nicholson and others proceeded to the full examination of my case.
Dr. Night examined me very carefully and got angry with Dr. Reid, the Housing Surgeon. He said:
"The case is very much serious. How is it that the patient is not taken to the operation theatre? Why so much delay in surgery? There is so much of sceptic, pus formation!"
Then, looking at my wife and the two daughters, he further addressed to doctors :
"Has your humanity come to an end? Did you have no compassion for the two kids and the youthful wife?"
