CVI: The All-Knowing Physician hath His finger...
|
1 |
The All-Knowing Physician hath His finger on the pulse of mankind. He perceiveth the disease,
and prescribeth, in His unerring wisdom, the remedy.
Every age hath its own problem, and every soul its
particular aspiration. The remedy the world needeth
in its present-day afflictions can never be the same as
that which a subsequent age may require. Be anxiously
concerned with the needs of the age ye live in,
and center your deliberations on its exigencies and
requirements. |

We can well perceive how the whole human race
is encompassed with great, with incalculable afflictions.
We see it languishing on its bed of sickness,
sore-tried and disillusioned. They that are intoxicated
by self-conceit have interposed themselves between
it and the Divine and infallible Physician. Witness
how they have entangled all men, themselves included,
in the mesh of their devices. They can neither
discover the cause of the disease, nor have they any
knowledge of the remedy. They have conceived the
straight to be crooked, and have imagined their
friend an enemy. |

Incline your ears to the sweet melody of this Prisoner.
Arise, and lift up your voices, that haply they
that are fast asleep may be awakened. Say: O ye
who are as dead! The Hand of Divine bounty proffereth
unto you the Water of Life. Hasten and drink
your fill. Whoso hath been re-born in this Day, shall
never die; whoso remaineth dead, shall never live. |
