When we make a purpose out of the Divine, then this purpose becomes human over time, but when we make a purpose out of the Human, in time, it turns into evil and falls apart. Man can judge thusly: “Why should I pray if I am healthy? When I get sick I will find out what sin the disease is related to, then I will pray properly and I will be healed.". Science must not subdue religion. We must simply be constantly longing for God and Love and we must continuously overcome our dependence on worldly happiness. This is the main component of what we call true happiness. In the future, this gives us survival, health and happiness of all kinds: spiritual, emotional and material. [...]

Prayer is a means of union with God and the perception of love. If we turn it into a means of solving only physical problems, it sets in motion, but it acts as the worst medicine. The dependence on surface desires is removed and the subtle and deep desires are strengthened. Therefore, it is not advisable to tie the soul too closely to the body. Many think to themselves: "I prayed and the disease didn't go away, so why do I still need faith in God?". If you address Love and God, it always heals, but it heals, first and foremost, our strategic health. Sometimes, our prayer is answered in the present too and then a miracle happens: the worst diseases are cured quickly, but this does not happen to everyone or every time, which is why it is better to use medicines, understanding that they do not lead to true recovery, but they do make the situation easier for the moment.
