Trust the process of healing; permanent strength comes slowly through proper treatment, not through temporary measures.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: One thing I feel, that while there hasn't been any great improvement, on the other hand, I do not find that there has been any negative reaction or any regression since the time the kavirāja's treatment began. Of course, Your Divine Grace says that you feel weaker now than you did a week ago. If that's a fact, then... Prabhupāda: Not so very weak. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: I do find that you have more difficulty sitting up now. I notice that when you sit up you always slump over to one side, either as if you have no sufficient strength or as if you lost your balance.
I can't tell which it is. You're always leaning. You're not able to sit up straight. Of course, that was there also even a week ago, but it seems a little more noticeable now.
Do you think you are weaker now than you were a week ago? Prabhupāda: Hmm. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: You do? That's not good. That's not a good sign. I mean I wouldn't expect that you should be that much stronger, but I don't see why you should be weaker now.
Do you think it may be psychologically that you're weaker? I mean, how would you know if you were weaker now? Prabhupāda: Because I cannot sit down. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: You can't sit up. You mean after being sat up you can't stay sitting up?
You were never able to sit yourself up. That you were not doing since many months ago. When you say you're not able to sit down, you mean you cannot keep sitting in a sitting position? 'Cause that you were able to do. I've seen you in the last day or two, sitting up.
I think it might be—I don't know—but it may be more psychological, from laying in bed all the time. Naturally there is a feeling perhaps that one is... Weakness also means one's willpower becomes more weaker. Is that possible that that may be it? Prabhupāda: What it is, Kṛṣṇa knows. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Anyway, the signs which the kavirāja told us to look for, which would show that things are going well, are definitely present.
The fact is that you have been passing more urine every day, nearly double the amount that you previously were passing. And also you're taking more... You're not exerting yourself as much. Up until about a week ago you were speaking a lot, translating or otherwise, and this parikramā you were doing was also exerting.
