It is an amazing experience when one first meets
‘Abdu’l-Bahá. Many have tried to express it; many have partially expressed it.
Some, though feeling deeply, cannot express it at all. What the Master says so
simply,—seemingly, as it strikes the ear, if it reaches the inner being,
contains ever-deepening truths. One marvels at the beauty and wisdom, and at
the dulness of the surface consciousness of the merely human.
The first meeting with ‘Abdu’l-Bahá never startles. It
thrills one with a new sense of vitality. It quickens. It is healing. It
recalls: "He cometh with healing in His wings." It is penetrative.
One cannot possibly remain the same as before the meeting, because the Divine
Ray has touched the creature and somehow, somewhere, some time, the creature
will know.
In this day electricity is the agent used to restore
weakened vitality and most successful are some results reported. To my spirit
‘Abdu’l-Bahá is a new discovery in Spiritual Science. He is pure Radium. His
Spirit is the Spirit of Light, of life in the highest degree. It is creative. A
new energy radiates from Him to the recipient and makes him vital and alive.
Blessed is the one who has been treated with this Divine Current.
