In the Tip of the Writing Brush,  illness and disease are called God’s blessings. But to most people illness would not be considered blessings but would be considered detrimental.  The following is from the sacred book:

A slight ailment of the eyes, swellings, dizziness, and pain are but the guidance of God  3-139

Could God use illness and disease as a source of cleansing of the mind? Could these negative infestations on our bodies be a means to a better future? Could God be disapproving of our thinking and actions?

It is said in the Sacred book, that when we reflect and ponder over these illnesses, that we can eliminate evil (greed, arrogance, and self love) from our minds. Our illness disappears; but more important our future becomes more joyous due to the law of cause and effect. Removing  evil from your hearts, leads to joy in the future.

So in the future, if  illness comes upon your body, it may be God’s blessing to open a broad path to your happiness. Remove evil (greed, arrogance, and self love) from your minds. Embrace God’s blessings!
