This Reflection is based on the following aphorism of Sri Aurobindo:
Medical Science has been more a curse to mankind than a blessing. It has broken the force of epidemics and unveiled a marvellous surgery; but, also, it has weakened the natural health of man and multiplied individual diseases; it has implanted fear and dependence in the mind and body; it has taught our health to repose not on natural soundness but a rickety and distasteful crutch compact from the mineral and vegetable kingdoms.
This brief reflection is based on the explanation of the phrase: Possession in oneness and not loss in oneness
This reflection is a continuation of the talk titled ‘The forces that oppose’ with help from the words of Sri Aurobindo.
In this brief reflection we see the role of the rational mind in the common good of man and what common good really means.
