What thou hast written is understood. In reply I will elucidate briefly,
the purport of which you, with your intelligence, will surely comprehend:
The world of humanity is encompassed by the darkness of conventionalities,
disagreements, discords, avoidance, animosity, enmity, ignorance, folly,
lustful desires and animal tendencies; the gloomy night had darkened the
horizon of the world in such manner that all had forgotten the light and
deemed the darkness inevitable in the world of humanity, and its solution
impossible; when, unexpectedly, the Light of Reality appeared and
enlightened the horizon of the world, diffusing its rays throughout the
East and West, the beholding of which instantly delighted the perfect and
perceiving eyes; but the imperfect eyes, afflicted by the darkness, were
dazzled by the radiance, while the negligent closed theirs and turned away
entirely. That light is the Love of God, the Spirit of God, unity,
concord, science and knowledge, bounty and perfection, redemption of life,
spiritual perception, universal peace, alliance of the nations,
unification of all peoples and the reality of the attributes of the
Merciful One, which I hope thou wilt fully attain.
"O seeker of the truth!..."
O seeker of the truth!
There are two ways of healing diseases, the material way and the spiritual
way. The first is the remedies of the physician; the second prayers and
turning one's self to God. Both must be practiced and followed. The
diseases that happen to be caused by physical accident are cured by
medical aid; others, which are due to spiritual causes, will disappear by
spiritual means. For instance: For a disease due to grieving, fear,
nervous impressions, the spiritual remedies will take more effect than the
physical. Therefore, these tow kinds of remedies must be followed; neither
is an obstacle to the other. You must take care of the physical remedies.
These also came from the bounty and mercy of God who revealed and made
evident the science of medicine, so that His servants may also be
benefited by this mode of healing. In the same way take care of the
spiritual healing, because it giveth wonderful results.
And if thou art looking for the divine remedy which will cure the spirit
of man of all diseases and make him obtain the health of the divine
Kingdom, know that it is the precepts and teaching of God. Take the
greatest care of them.
