If the doctor is full of love and compassion, God works through him. Doctors, therefore, have to endeavour to become the receptacles of divine power during their healing process. How can they heal when they are themselves ill, either in body or mind? When their minds are pure and contented, a smile will spontaneously shine on their faces and their words will be soft, sweet and tender, more soothing than any pharmaceutical balm. The manner and mien of the physician are more effective in drawing out the latent sources of strength in the patient than the most powerful drug. A prayerful atmosphere of humanity and veneration will go a long way to help the cure. (SSSm Vol.6, pp. 386-387)

Make love the capsule that you offer to your patients. When a weak; patient comes to you, do not be content with offering him glucose or some other thing. Give him the injection of love. That will give him instant strength. Speak to him with love, offer medicines with love and keep him in good humour. That is the way to make him happy. Anything you do with love will be rewarding. (SSSm Vol.6, p. 405)
