Miscellaneous Signs 195. Once, on account of mental fatigue and headache, I became so weak that I was afraid I would not be able to go on writing anymore. Such was my weakness that I felt no life in my body. In this condition, I received the revelation: تُرَدُّ إِلَيْكَ أَنْوَارُ الشَّبَابِ. Within a few days I began to feel that my lost powers were being restored, and I soon became so strong that. I am now able to write at least two chapters of a new book everyday with my own hand, and am able to do the reflection and thinking that are necessary for such creative writing. Of course I suffer from two ailments, one relating to the upper part of my body, and the other to the lower one. In the upper part I suffer from headache, and in the lower I suffer from frequent urge to pass water. I have suffered from these ailments ever since I published my claim that I had been appointed by God. I supplicated for relief from these ailments, but the answer was always no. I was also made to feel that it had been decreed from the beginning that the Promised Messiah would descend clad in two yellow sheets, with his hands resting on the shoulders of two angels. These [two illnesses] are indeed the same two yellow sheets which represent my physical condition. All Prophets agree that yellow sheet are interpreted as disease. The two yellow sheets therefore symbolize two ailments, which relate to two parts of the body. God too has disclosed to me 63 The capacities of youth are restored to you. [Publisher]
