SACRIFICE IS THE HALLMARK OF A DOCTOR

While talking of doctors, take my advise;

"Doctor Do It For The Sake Of God"

I must also say that doctors who fight for the patient's purse or tries to grab a patient before a rival appropriates him is a danger to society. The doctor who despises other doctors or sticks to his own patient, cures irrespective of the experience of failure, who is guided more by his whims, fancies and prejudices or who considers the patient's caste rather than his disease as more important, such men are also dangerous.

Doctors among you have been alloted the duty of going round and discovering persons likely to need your attention must be extra cordial and considerate!.. Don't bark questions at the patients, have patience while listening to their stories as half the cure is effected by kindness, softness and sympathy. There is a saying, very old, as old as a mountain.

"THE DOCTOR IS GOD IN HUMAN FORM."

It is in that spirit and with that reverence that people come to you and receive the drugs you give.
Live up to that estimate of your service! Nowadays, doctors have lost the art of soft, sweet speech; learn to speak with compassion; have in your bag the medicines necessary for the treatment of all types of illnesses.

Do not delay of drift, for want of a drug. Doctors are not aware of the distress they cause by neglect or by short temper; nurses are not aware of the pain they cause by angry words, or even by a gesture of contempt or resentment! Imagine what such a gesture can do for you, if you were in that position - and avoid it. Always try to put yourselves in the position of the other and judge your action against the background. Then you will not be wrong.

Be pure in word and deed and keep impure thoughts away. Give them all the help you can, all the service they need; do not with hold the sweet word, the supporting hand, the assuring smile, the comforting company and the consoling conversation.

If you do not serve man, who is your kith and kin, with the same feelings, impulses and instincts as you, who is before you, alive and gladly accepting with a smile of gratitude, how can you serve 'GOD' who is far above and beyond you, so different and distant, so potent and mysterious? Train yourselves for the sake of 'GOD' by serving man.

Private doctors, among you can serve the poor by treating them without insisting on payment, give the poor, all the attention and care that you lavish on the rich,... paying patients.

Do it for the sake of 'GOD' (sacrifice). Feel that it is the worship you are offering Him:

THE LAWYERS... among you can help those, who for who want of a skilled advocate, have to go undefended or have to suffer at the hands of unscrupulous men. And please remember! Do not publish these acts of sympathy; do them spontaneously without fanfare. That is more precious than demonstrating your service with the help of headlines and photographs. These reduce the worth of the deeds compassion.

You must be uncomfortable, when those around you are unhappy when you ease their discomfort. You are making them happy and making yourself happy, is it not?

Similarly, you must be happy, when those around you are happy. Help others as much as lies in your power, if you cannot give them adequately, at least, fell the agony.

"Alas!!! How much is the suffering they undergo! God, relieve it soon." Pray thus with all your heart.

Today all the fields like education, medicine, music, literature etc; have become business-oriented.

It is your good fortune that you have become doctors. Please remember! Sacrifice is the hallmark of a true doctor. So, doctors should have the spirit of sacrifice. They should be compassionate and considerate towards the poor. They are many poor people who are losing their lives as they cannot afford costly treatment.

Doctors, your love alone can sustain such lives. The more you develop the spirit of sacrifice in you. The greater will be the word's progress.

Hospital are meant to serve the poor and not to earn money. Private doctors, what is the point in earning crores of dollar when one has to ultimately leave the world empty handed? So, spend all your earnings for the welfare of the poor. Do not put them to suffering for your greed of money. Do not extort money from the poor.

Please remember! It is not money that you are wresting, but their lives. Lead a life suffused with love, compassion and sacrifice. Sacrifice alone can lead to spirituality.

"Divine Grace Is Essential For Cure".

Medicines on their own cannot cure diseases: It is Divine Grace That Cures. Only sacrifice can win "God's Grace". Do not satisfied by merely filling your own belly, try to appease the hunger of others too.

Undertake such activities which will benefit the poor. Hospitality does not merely stand for architectural beauty. Beauty has no value if there is no bliss. You can experience bliss only when you give happiness to the poor. The poor are suffering as they cannot afford to buy medicines. Make every effort to give happiness to all.

Please note;

Develop spiritual outlook and treat the patients with love and care and make them happy and healthy:

"Without God's Grace, even the pulse cannot beat. You are under
mistaken nation that mere medicine can cure that diseases."

If that were the case, what happened to all those Kings and rich men who had access to best medical facilities? So, along with medicine, one should have Divine Grace too. Medicine and Divine Grace are like... negative and positive, respectively.

Diseases can be cured only when both these come together. So, along with taking medicines, one should also pray for Divine Grace. Without Divine Grace, human body cannot be sustained.

Human body is most wonderful and mysterious. Do you not know, who is responsible for the pulse beat? Who is making the heart pump blood? All this happens become of Divine Will. Divine Power is responsible for the growth of the body. So, there is no point in merely feeding the body and sustaining it unless it is used to serve the poor.

Sacrifice, Impart health and happiness to the poor, that should be your aim in life (one attains merit by serving others and commits sin by harming them). I bless you all 'doctor' so that you may attain the deservedness to see the happiness of the poor.

The heart is the most important part in the body. If the heart goes strike, the body becomes lifeless. Who has endowed the heart with such capacity?

Is it scientist, the engineer or any man-made machine which makes it perform such a stupendous task? Know that, it is only the Divine Power that is the basis for all this. Man cannot accomplish even a small task without the help of Divine Power.

Today man has lost self-confidence and does not have faith in God. So, first of all, man should foster self-confidence without which life becomes meaningless. Man today is not concerned with the welfare of the world. So, all friends out there;

"Welfare of the whole world should be our motto".

Please contemplate:

A blind person cannot see the travails of others;
Nor can a deaf person be moved by the groans of a man in pain.
The sight of suffering softens the heart;
Stories of distress urge one to rush to the rescue.
But education, as imparted now, renders men indifferent,
Blind and deaf, in fact, to the suffering of others.
