Bholanath’s letter revealed that Dr. Shome could not diagnose anything from Ma’s blood report & thereform he did not prescribe any medicine. Bholanath is also undecided about whether or not to give any medicine. The fever continues in the same pattern. Every two days the fever comes on eapidfy the illness Ma replied, “Why do you dislike this fever? Just as you all come to me so also does the fever. It sports within this body.
