Some men when performing great deeds are usually filled with pride.

They come to think that they are infallible in their work and believe that they can everything.

This reminds us of the great master and founder of Homeopathy, Samuel Hahnemann Cristian. He had the attitute of a real wise man.

In 1835, he came to Paris and began his practice, despite the discredit and attacks from many of his allopathic colleagues.

It was when the daughter of Ernest Legouvé, a member of the French Academy and a famous writer of the time got very sick.

An artist named Duval was asked to do a portrait of the dying young women. It was the ultimate reminder that the loving father wanted to have of the daughter who was leaving life.

Completed the task that was performed with the emotions you can imagine, Duval made her father a neuralgic question:

If all hope is lost, why don't you try an experiment with the new medicine that has made so much noise?

Why not consult with Dr. Hahnemann?

There was nothing to lose and the father called the physician. When he saw him, he seemed to be in front of a fantastic character of fairy tales.

Hahnemann was of short stature, strong and firm on the floor, wrapped in a cloak and leaning on a gold-headed cane.

He was a wonderful mind, silky white hair, combed back and carefully curled around the neck.

With his deep blue eyes, he carefully inquired about the status of the girl.

Further, he asked the sick girl to be transferred to a ventilated room with open doors and windows for abundant light and air to enter.

The next day he started the treatment. There were ten days of anticipation and tension. Finally, the hope was confirmed. The girl was saved.

The impact of this healing, almost miraculously, was impressive throughout Paris.

In recognition for the salvation of his daughter, although many still claimed that Hahnemann was nothing but a charlatan, Legouvé presented the doctor with his own painting by Duval.

It was a masterpiece. The founder of  Homeopathy contemplated it at length, took a pen and wrote:

God blessed and saved. Hahnemann.

He considered the healing a blessing of God, for which he was not more than an instrument.

So are the truly wise and great geniuses of mankind.

They know that they dominate large portions of knowledge but they do not forget that intelligence was given to them by God, from whom all emanates.

We are the children of the Supreme Intelligence, which allows us to grow to infinity.

However, all the blessings are due to Him, allowing us as brothers of one another to act in the great concert of  Creation.

Think about it and let us do good, always reminding us that without God we cannot do anything.
