Nature is an inexhaustible reservoir of energy from which man can draw in order to maintain his health. The Master gives many rules and methods as to how to make use of the forces of the living Nature that we may be healthful:
"For a man to think rightly, he must be healthful that his focus will not be undermined by disease. Tell yourselves, 'My body must be
healthful; it is a corpuscle in the Great Cosmic Body.' When unstructured matter is introduced into it, death follows. Man is healthful when all the matter in his body is well-structured. The unstructured matter in the human body brings death. For example: you are doubtful, you are angry - and if you are not careful - the doubt, anger and hatred will instill unstructured matter into your body.
"If you want to make use of Nature's forces to fortify your health, the best months of the year to do this are April, May and June. These months bring a vast amount of wealth. If one makes use of Nature's forces, he can fortify himself within one month. During the spring months, it is beneficial for a person to dig and cultivate the soil for some time each day.
"When it rains in the summer, one should go outside and - for a short a while - let the rain soak him. The rain in May, June and July is suffused with magnetism. One rain shower is worth ten ordinary baths. Four or five such showers can heal a person from disease. After you have been soaked by the rain, change into dry clothes.
"The body's pores must always be open. The first task of the disciple is to keep the pores of his body open. This can be accomplished through sweating and by drinking hot water. The hot water which one drinks helps to dissolve calcifications of the body. In addition to this, the hot water induces sweating through which toxins are eliminated from the body. The farmer who works in the field and sweats should change into dry clothes. He should carry a spare dry shirt with him.
"It is advisable for an ill person to carry from the source water in an earthen jug. Water that is taken in this way will improve the circulation of the blood, strengthen the respiratory system and induce sweating. In addition, through the carrying of this water, he will be able to absorb its magnetism. Man can be healed of many diseases in this way."
