f Guidance is a very subtle one. We cannot be positive that
an impulse or a dream is guidance. We can seek, through earnest prayer and
longing, sincerely to do God's will, His guidance. We can try, as you say,
to emulate the Master and at all times live up to the teachings, but we
cannot be sure that doing these things we are still making no mistakes and
are perfectly guided. These things help us not to make so many mistakes
and to receive more directly the guidance God seeks to give us."

92: HANDS OF THE CAUSE--INSTITUTIONS (STATION AND FUNCTION--WHEN MENTIONED
IN WRITING)

"The rank and position of the Hands of the Cause are superior to the
position of the National Assemblies. In writing concerning the Hands,

the Guardian should be mentioned the Hands, and then the National

can also prove of invaluable help, and the N.S.A. should indeed see to it
that the necessary facilities are provided in the building for that
purpose. But thus combining these three features, namely teaching,
administrative, and social the Haziratu'l-Quds can best fulfill its
mission, as the visible symbol of the steadily-growing National Baha'i
Community in Northern America, and as the chief rallying center for all
its activities and plans throughout that Continent."

94: HEALING

"The Guardian knows nothing about your kind of healing... But he can lay
down for your guidance certain broad principles: There is no such thing as
Baha'i healers or a Baha'i type of healing. In His Most Holy Book (the
Aqdas) Baha'u'llah says to consult the best physicians, in other words,
doctors who have studied a scientific system of medicine; He never gave us
