O thou seeker after the Kingdom! Every divine Manifestation
is the very life of the world, and the skilled physician of each ailing soul.
The world of man is sick, and that competent Physician knoweth the cure,
arising as He doth with teachings, counsels and admonishments that are the
remedy for every pain, the healing balm to every wound. It is certain that the
wise physician can diagnose his patient’s needs at any season, and apply the
cure. Wherefore, relate thou the Teachings of the Abhá Beauty to the urgent
needs of this present day, and thou wilt see that they provide an instant
remedy for the ailing body of the world. Indeed, they are the elixir that
bringeth eternal health.
