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
Istijlal 17 Sharaf 182 B.E.
Thou knowest that the people are encircled with pain and calamities and are environed with hardships and trouble. Every trial doth attack man and every dire adversity doth assail him like unto the assault of a serpent. There is no shelter and asylum for him except under the wing of Thy protection, preservation, guard and custody.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá – Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá v3, p. 619
