We beseech the one true God, magnified be His glory, to
enable us to recognize Him Whose unerring wisdom pervadeth all things and that
we may acknowledge His truth. For once one hath recognized Him and borne
witness to His Reality, one will no longer be troubled by the idle fancies and
vain imaginings of men. The divine Physician hath the pulse of mankind within
His almighty grasp. At one time He may well deem fit to sever certain infected
limbs, that the disease may not spread to other parts of the body. This would
be the very essence of mercy and compassion, and to none is given the right to
object, for He is indeed the All-Knowing, the All-Seeing.
(Baha’u’llah, ‘The Tabernacle of Unity, Bahá’u’lláh’s
Responses to Mánikchí Sáhib and Other Writings’)
