This sounded so like the old theology that the modern in me rose doubting if the discipline could be compensated for by the effort. "What do you mean by the confirmations of the Spirit?" (104:1) "The confirmations of the Spirit are all those powers and gifts which some are born with (and which men sometimes call genius), but for which others have to strive with infinite pains. They come to that man or woman who accepts his life with radiant acquiescence." (104:2) Radiant acquiescence - that was the quality with which we all suddenly seemed inspired as 'Abdu'l- Baha bade us good- bye.
(104:3)
