Some of them [fortune-tellers,
spiritualists and ascetics] begged Him to heal them, saying, `You have healed
many.' The Master replied:
“We
pray but God bestows healing. We do not make claims for ourselves. We are only
the expounders of the Word. We are all promulgating the Cause of Bahá'u'lláh. I
am ‘Abdu'l-Bahá. Bahá'u'lláh is the Dawning Place of Holiness. Address your
needs to Him. I am only the expounder and promulgator of the Word. Bahá'u'lláh
is the Source, the One Who has illumined this dark world, made corporeal into
spiritual, quickened the dormant minds, changed the earthly souls into heavenly
ones and given life to the dead and sight to the blind.”
