Love makes man perfectly healthy in body and mind…

“The heart’s natural love is the principal requisite to attain a holy life. When this love, the heavenly gift of Nature, appears in the heart, it removes all causes of excitation from the system and cools it down to a perfectly normal state; and, invigorating the vital powers, expels all foreign matters – the germs of diseases – by natural ways (perspiration and so forth).

It thereby makes man perfectly healthy in body and mind, and enables him to understand properly the guidance of Nature. When this love becomes developed in man it makes him able to understand the real position of his own self as well as of others surrounding him. With the help of this developed love, man becomes fortunate in gaining the Godlike company of the divine personages and is saved forever.”
