A human being who has sacrificed his lower bodies for the sake of service to Light will never use his gifts for getting material things and values of this world. These can be money, power, influence, authority. There are a lot of manifestations of people's unreal part in this world. This phenomenon is the reason for...

.... First, a true healer heals your soul, but not your body; that is he helps you to reveal the reasons which caused your ailment. He shows you your imperfections which actually were the reason for the disease. And the second, as the gift of healing is a God-given gift, a true healer will never take money from you for the healing. He received his gift for nothing and he must grant it for nothing. But you...
