Even the most exemplary spiritual attitude on the part of the individual, therefore, may not ensure physical health in every case.

The holiest men and women sometimes suffer illness.
Nevertheless, the beneficent influence on bodily health which results from a right spiritual attitude is far more potent than is generally imagined, and is sufficient to banish ill-health in a large proportion of cases.
'Abdu'l-Baha wrote to an English lady:--"You have written about the weakness of your body.

I ask from the Bounties of Baha'u'llah that your spirit may become strong, that through the strength of your spirit your body also may be healed." Again He says:-- God hath bestowed upon man such wonderful powers, that he might ever look upward, and receive, among other gifts, healing from His divine Bounty.

But alas! man is not grateful for this supreme good, but sleeps the sleep of negligence, being careless of the great mercy which God has shown towards him, turning his face away from the Light and going on his way in darkness.
The Healer The power of spiritual healing is doubtless common to all mankind in greater or less degree, but, just as some men are endowed with exceptional talent for mathematics or music, so others appear to be endowed with exceptional aptitude for healing.

These are the people who ought to make the healing art their lifework.
