Attitudes towards Disease – A Baha'i Perspective

« Effects of Disease – A Baha'i Perspective

Spiritual Treatments for Disease – A Baha'i Perspective »

This is part six of an eleven part series on the Baha’i Perspective on Disease.   In Part 1,  we looked at how I got interested in this topic and looked at some quotes on prevention of disease.  In Part 2, we looked at the reasons for disease.  In Part 3, we looked at the physical cause of disease, in Part 4 we looked at the spiritual causes, in Part 5 we looked at the effects of disease, and in this part we look at the attitudes to strive for, when battling disease.

No simple solutions – we need to look at all the elements:

Look on the world as the temple (body) of a man attacked by disease, whose recovery depends upon the union of all its elements.  (Compilations, Baha’i Scriptures, p. 109)

Happiness:

Anybody can be happy in the state of comfort, ease, health, success, pleasure and joy; but if one will be happy and contented in the time of trouble, hardship and prevailing disease, it is the proof of nobility.  (Abdu’l-Baha, Baha’i World Faith, p. 363)
