notes: "The candle of thine heart is lighted by the hand of My power, quench it not with the contrary winds of self and passion. The healer of all thine ills is remembrance of Me, forget it not. Make My love thy treasure and cherish it even as thy very sight and life." – Bahá'u'lláh, The Hidden Words, Persian, #32

"Resort ye, in times of sickness, to competent physicians; We have not set aside the use of material means, rather have We confirmed it through this Pen, which God hath made to be the Dawning-place of His shining and glorious Cause." – Bahá'u'lláh, Kitáb-i-Aqdas, ¶113

"... Know thou that the soul of man is exalted above, and is independent of, all infirmities of body or mind. That a sick person showeth signs of weakness is due to the hindrances that interpose themselves between his soul and his body, for the soul itself remaineth unaffected by any bodily ailments... – Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh, LXXX

"As you know Bahá'u'lláh has ordained that in case of illness we should always consult the most competent physicians. And this is exactly what the Guardian strongly advises you to do. For prayer alone is not sufficient. To render it more effective we have to make use of all the physical and material advantages which God has given us. Healing through purely spiritual forces is undoubtedly as inadequate as that which materialist physicians and thinkers vainly seek to obtain by resorting entirely to mechanical devices and methods. The best result can be obtained by combining the two processes, spiritual and physical." – From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi (the Guardian of the Bahá'í Faith) to an individual believer, March 12, 1934, in Lights of Guidance, #927

  1. 1910-07-01 — Stanwood Cobb's second pilgrimage, this time by invitation from 'Abu'l-Bahá, lasted for a week in the summer of 1910. By this time 'Abdu'l-Bahá and His family were living in His new house in Haifa and His nemesis Abdu'l-Hamid II had been deposed.

    On the day he arrived at Haifa he was ill with a dysentery. ‘Abdu’l-Baha sent His own physician to him and visited Himself. 'Abdu'l-Bahá had told him on his previous visit that "...health is the expression of equilibrium; that the body is composed of certain elements, and that when these elements are in the right proportion, health results; and that if there is any lack or preponderance in these elements, sickness results." He went on to say that "... there is still another cause of illness, Illness may be caused by nervous factors. Anything that shocks us or affects our nerves may also affect our health." [Memories of 'Abdu'l-Bahá by Stanwood Cobb p9-10
