Now, Jesus with his friend Lamaas went through all the regions of Orissa, and the valley of the Ganges, seeking wisdom from the sudras and the visyas and the masters.
2 Benares of the Ganges was a city rich in culture and in learning; here the two rabbonis tarried many days.
3 And Jesus sought to learn the Hindu art of healing, and became the pupil of Udraka, greatest of the Hindu healers.
4 Udraka taught the uses of the waters, plants and earths; of heat and cold; sunshine and shade; of light and dark.
5 He said, The laws of nature are the laws of health, and he who lives according to these laws is never sick.
6 Transgression of these laws is sin, and he who sins is sick.
7 He who obeys the laws, maintains an equilibrium in all his parts, and thus insures true harmony; and harmony is health, while discord is disease.
8 That which produces harmony in all the parts of man is medicine, insuring health.
9 The body is a harpsichord, and when its strings are too relaxed, or are too tense, the instrument is out of tune, the man is sick.
10 Now, everything in nature has been made to meet the wants of man; so everything is found in medical arcanes.
