Healing requires patience, faith, and trusting in gradual recovery guided by Krishna's grace.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: What Shastrijī said? Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Hmm. I had a nice talk with Shastrijī, very detailed talk. He explained that the main... He said we have brought you to him at the very last possible moment.
He said had we come six months earlier, so much easier it would have been. He said this time that we have called him just now was just timely that he came back again. He said that the main problem is the kidney. He said the kidney is working; otherwise you could not pass urine.
And the medicine which he has given over the past week has had an effect, because the urine is increased. He explains that the whole body, there's very little blood due to not having eaten for so many months, and there's great weakness because of this. He says the muscles are all more or less gone; therefore you have no strength, because the blood is not there. And because you're so weak, he can't give strong medicine, because it will be too strong for you.
He has to give it very, very carefully and slowly, in small doses. He says the kidney, urine goes downwards, and blood goes upwards. So the urine is passing. Now he's going to give...
He started today already giving medicine which will help to form blood. And automatically... He says that... I asked him, "How will we know if it is working?
Will Prabhupāda feel stronger?" He said, "Not immediately." He said, "I can't give it very much dose." He said, "I'll be able to tell it from the pulse." I guess that's the kavirāja's ability, that he can tell from the pulse. He said, "I'll be able to tell from the pulse that the medicine for creating more blood is being taken up by the body." Then we asked him... He said that it is better you don't sit up, 'cause it puts strain on the heart. He said it's better you don't sit up for the next four days or so.
Better that you lay down all the time. And that for feeding you, that we can feed you while you're laying down. He said it's not necessary that you should take anything solid unless you want it. Liquids are good, he said, for now.
