Recalling Health to the Spirit Essentials
“I bear witness o my God that thou hath created me to know thee and to worship thee. I testify at this moment to my powerlessness and to thy might, to thou poverty and to thy wealth. There is none other God but Thee. the help in peril, the self subsisting ” Bahá'u'lláh
“In the remembrance of God do hearts find satisfaction.” -- Islam: Quran
Spiritual Health: as the body is composed of elements and will decay, finding something permanent to believe in (i.e. belief in a higher power) can give meaning to your life. When your life has more meaning, you tend to care for the body more so that it will serve you better which in turn enables you to better serve your God.
Faith: Have Faith in God. Faith is the magnet which draws down the confirmations of the Holy One.
Prayer: pray daily according to the dictates of your faith.
“Obligatory prayer is the very foundation of the Cause of God. Through it joy and vitality infuse the heart. Even if every grief should surround Me, as soon as I engage in conversing with God in obligatory prayer, all My sorrows disappear and I attain joy and gladness. A condition descendeth upon Me which I am unable to describe or express. Whenever, with full awareness and humility, we undertake to perform the Obligatory Prayer before God, and recite it with heartfelt tenderness, we shall taste such sweetness as to endow all existence with eternal life.” – The Master

Fasting: Fasting is one of the twin pillars upholding the revealed law of God. Fast yearly according to the commandments of your Faith. A spring fast, abstaining from food or drink from sunrise to sunset, is as light to the soul.
“Verily, I say, fasting is the supreme remedy and the most great healing for the disease of self and passion.” – Bahá'í Faith
”Fasting is the cause of the elevation of one’s spiritual station.” – The Master
Live Righteously: do the right thing. Essence of Righteousness is a small compilation this writer put together to steer you in the right direction.
Religion is One: as are the essence of all the Prophets of God -- and Their Teachings – Each One is inspired by one God Who reveals His words through these holy Luminaries according to the exigencies and the requirements of the time; religion must be one. In each age of man’s existence, from infancy to adulthood, God sends a Divine Messenger to educate mankind. The teachings each brings appear to be different, but they are the same. Only the social teachings change from age to age, not the divine truths.
