of medicine and approved treatments. Now, as
long as your healing is in no opposition to these principles, as long as
you do not try and take the place of a regular doctor in trying to heal
others, but only give them your kind of help through constructive
suggestion--or whatever it may be--and do not associate this help with
being a channel of the direct grace of Baha'u'llah, the Guardian sees no
harm in your continuing your assistance to others. But you must
conscientiously decide whether, in view of the above, you are really
justified in continuing. He will pray for your guidance and happiness."

most fundamental."

97: HOLY DAYS--BAHA'I

"He wishes the Baha'is to press for recognition of their right to observe
their own Holy Days, and to observe them whenever possible in strict
accordance with our teachings."

"He wishes also to stress the fact that, according to the Baha'i laws,
work is forbidden on our nine Holy Days. Believers who have independent
businesses or shops should refrain from working on these days. Those who
are in government employ should, on religious grounds, make an effort to
be excused from work; all believers, whoever their employers, should d
