In the Baha'i Teachings it is made quite clear that when one is ill, one
should seek the best available medical advice. This naturally leaves a
person free to choose what they consider good in medical opinion. If you
and ... feel that she is improving under the care of your own doctor, and
... is willing to wait and be patient and see if she goes on making
progress, there can surely be no objection to her doing this. There are a
great many as you know mental diseases and troubles at present, and the
one thing Baha'is must not do is take a defeatist attitude toward them.
The power in the Faith is such that it can sustain us on a much higher
level in spite of whatever our ailments might be than other people who are
denied it. This however does not mean that we should ignore medical
opinion and treatment. On the contrary, we should do our best to procure
the opinion of specialists and competent doctors.

You should not allow the remarks made by the Baha'is to hurt or depress
you, but should forget the personalities, and arise to do all you can,
yourself, to teach the Faith.

Baha'u'llah enjoins work on all. No one need ever be ashamed of his job.

"THEIR DAILY SUSTENANCE"

In his last message to the British Baha'i community as a whole the
Guardian wrote:

May they, as they forge ahead along the high road leading to ultimate,
total and complete victory, receive as their daily sustenance, a still
fuller measure of the abounding grace, promised to the believers of an
earlier generation by the Centre of the Covenant, the Author of the Divine
Plan, Himself, on the occasion of His twice-repeated visit to their
shores, and which has been unfailingly vouchsafed to themselves, in the
course of over three decades, since the birth of the Formative Age of the
Faith and the rise of its Administrative Order in their homeland.
