The Power of <strong>the</strong> Holy SpiritThe most potent means of healing is <strong>the</strong> Power of <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit.... This does not depend on contact, nor on sight, nor uponpresence.... Whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> disease be light or severe, whe<strong>the</strong>r<strong>the</strong>re be a contact of bodies or not, whe<strong>the</strong>r a personal connectionbe established between <strong>the</strong> sick person <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> healeror not, this healing takes place through <strong>the</strong> power of <strong>the</strong> HolySpirit.—Some Answered Questions, p. 295.In a talk with Miss E<strong>the</strong>l Rosenberg, in October 1904, ‘Abdu’l-Bahásaid:—The healing that is by <strong>the</strong> power of <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit needsno special concentration or contact. It is through <strong>the</strong> wishor desire <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> prayer of <strong>the</strong> holy person. The one who issick may be in <strong>the</strong> East <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> healer in <strong>the</strong> West, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>ymay not have been acquainted with each o<strong>the</strong>r, but as soonas that holy person turns his heart to God <strong>and</strong> begins to pray,<strong>the</strong> sick one is healed. This is a gift belonging to <strong>the</strong> HolyManifestations <strong>and</strong> those who are in <strong>the</strong> highest station.Of this nature, apparently, were <strong>the</strong> works of healing performedby Christ <strong>and</strong> His apostles, <strong>and</strong> similar works of healinghave been attributed to holy men in all ages. Both Bahá’u’lláh <strong>and</strong>‘Abdu’l-Bahá were gifted with this power, <strong>and</strong> similar powersare promised to Their faithful followers.
