Is the Hindu wisdom always wise? There is the warning of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras against the occult powers that might be acquired by yoga: they are to be shunned because they obstruct further advance towards a higher plane. Healing is one of these listed powers. Must we accept such an attitude and reject the gift of healing, if it comes? Is good health so great an evil that disease is to be accepted dutifully? On this point a Westerner might rebel.
