Once Tejchandra suffered a bout of asthma that became severe at night and kept him from sleeping. It was so unbearable that he would go up to the roof and pace back and forth all night. He consulted many doctors, but none could give him any relief. At night he would pray to the Master to cure that painful disease. On one such occasion a sadhu came to his home and said to him: “You are suffering. Please take this medicine and you will be cured.”
Tejchandra accepted the medicine and asked, “How much shall I have to pay?” “Nothing,” replied the holy man. Tejchandra thought that the sadhu was scheming to get money from him. “When shall I see you again?” asked Tejchandra. “At the right time,” said the sadhu, and left. Tejchandra decided not to use the medicine; he consulted his doctors and they also forbade him to take it. So the medicine remained in his room. After a day or two the Master appeared to him in a dream and asked, “Still you doubt?” Immediately Tejchandra got up and took the medicine. From that day on, he never again suffered from asthma.
