She has told us that “Have faith. There is no disease which cannot be cured by the Divine Grace.” – and Sri Aurobindo has clearly written in Savitri that “All can be done if the God-touch is there.” If both our Sweet Mother and Sri Aurobindo have told us above Messages for us, then is there any doubt that Divine Grace will not cure the disease of my daughter when both my daughter and I want the Divine Grace to act and cure the disease?🤕
