Healing - Spiritual
However much the need may be for physical healing, the supreme need of the world today is for spiritual healing. Life in this world is so relatively short -- and at present it is fraught with a thousand difficulties and dangers; whereas life in the true sense is eternal, and for this eternal life people need some preparation in these turbulent times. Your work to improve the health of the people is a meritorious way of serving mankind, but it can never be compared with the work of illumining the souls and minds of men with the Light of Bahá’u’lláh. The people of the world are teeming millions, the Bahá’ís only a handful, yet they are the precious leaven that must leaven the lump.
- Shoghi Effendi, Lights of Guidance, p. 279
Quote of the Day
Jamal 3 Ilm 183 B.E.
Many people whoso believe in God may be truthful and honest in a normal situation. But the real criterion of a man's truthfulness and honesty is his attitude at the time of temptation. When severe tests and trials descend upon man, the only thing which keeps him truthful is his faith in God. If he does not believe in God, there is no motivation within him to resist temptation.
Adib Taherzadeh – The Revelation of Bahá’u’lláh v 2, p. 314
