Now, I have been diagnosed with cancer too. I am suffering a lot. Periyava must please suggest a parikaram (remedy).
"Will you do as I say", asked Periyava.
"Certainly", said the man.
"It might be difficult.”
"Never mind. I want to just get rid of these diseases. I will do
whatever Periyava instructs. All I want is to be cured of this BP, diabetes and cancer.” saying this, he wiped his eyes.
Periyava said, "In the well, there is water. But the well never drinks up the water claiming ownership over it. Trees bear fruits, but they never say, this
fruit belongs to me. Only I will eat it. The cow gives milk, but never drinks up its own milk. Several trees and plants yield vegetables, but they keep nothing for themselves. As you can see, plants and animals themselves are doing so much paropakaaram (service to others). They
say man has got six senses. So, how much more paropakaaram must he do? You have lot of money, but you are neither spending it for yourself, nor are you doing any dharma (good deeds) from it. The sins from your last birth have befallen you in the form of diseases. If you have to
get rid of the sins, you must do a lot of good deeds. Have you heard about the dharmam called 'Ishta Poortham’? Money must be spent in good deeds such as digging a well, temple renovation, helping the poor, helping relatives, etc. Also, buy medicines for poor orphans who are sick
When someone asks for something, he must not go empty handed. Is this all clear? You are only a Trustee for the wealth you possess. Never think that you are its owner".
The man started weeping uncontrollably. He lived for many years thereafter doing a lot of dharma.
