194. Essence of Islam-V care and a telegram was sent to the British doctors at. Kasauli, inquiring if there was any remedy available for his condition. The reply came by telegram that there was no remedy for him. This added to my feeling of pity for him and I was deeply concerned about this poor homeless lad. My friends also insisted that I should pray for him, for his pitiable condition aroused great compassion. I was also afraid that if he died under these dire circumstances, his death would provide the enemies with an occasion to rejoice. This further added to my feeling of sympathy for him and I was moved in an extraordinary manner. Such a feeling cannot be self-induced, it can only be caused by God. Almighty Himself. Once such a condition comes about, it is so effective that by God's permission-it can very nearly bring the dead back to life. In short, the condition of absolute reliance on Allāh was vouchsafed to me, and when my concern for him reached its limit and anguish took hold of my heart, the patient who had been as good as dead-began to show signs of recovery. He who had been so afraid of water and light at once took a turn for the better and said that he was not afraid of water anymore. He was given water which he drank fearlessly. He then performed ablution with it, offered his prayer and slept through the night. His frightful and wild condition disappeared and he recovered completely within a few days. I was suddenly made to feel that the madness had not come to him as a presage of death, rather it was meant as a sign from God. [Haqiqat-ul-Waḥi, Rūḥānī Khazā'in, vol. 22, pp. 480-481]
