Source (Arabic)

رگ جهان در دست پزشک دانا است درد را میبیند و بدانائی درمان میکند هر روز را رازی است و هر سر را آوازی درد امروز را درمانی و فردا را درمان دیگر امروز را نگران باشید و سخن از امروز رانید

Shoghi Effendi Translation

The All-Knowing Physician hath His finger on the pulse of mankind. He perceiveth the disease, and prescribeth, in His unerring wisdom, the remedy. Every age hath its own problem, and every soul its particular aspiration. The remedy the world needeth in its present-day afflictions can never be the same as that which a subsequent age may require. Be anxiously concerned with the needs of the age ye live in, and center your deliberations on its exigencies and requirements.
