When giving medical treatment turn to the Blessed Beauty,
then follow the dictates of thy heart. Remedy the sick by means of heavenly joy
and spiritual exultation, cure the sorely afflicted by imparting to them
blissful glad tidings and heal the wounded through His resplendent bestowals.
When at the bedside of a patient, cheer and gladden his heart and enrapture his
spirit through celestial power. Indeed, such a heavenly breath quickeneth every
mouldering bone and reviveth the spirit of every sick and ailing one.
(‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
