"The betterment of the world," is yet another statement,
"can be accomplished through pure and goodly deeds, through commendable
and
seemly conduct." "Be fair to yourselves and to others," He thus
counseleth them, "that the evidences of justice may be revealed
through your deeds among Our faithful servants." "Equity," He also has
written, "is the most fundamental among human virtues. The evaluation
of all things must needs depend upon it." And again, "Observe equity in
your judgment, ye men of understanding heart! He that is unjust in
his judgment is destitute of the characteristics that distinguish man's
station." "Beautify your tongues, O people," He further
admonishes them, "with truthfulness, and adorn your souls with the
ornament of honesty. Beware, O people, that ye deal not treacherously
with anyone. Be ye the trustees of God amongst His creatures, and the
emblems of His generosity amidst His people." "Let your eye be
chaste," is yet another counsel, "your hand faithful, your tongue
truthful, and your heart enlightened." "Be an ornament to the
countenance of truth," is yet another admonition, "a crown to the brow
of fidelity, a pillar of the temple of righteousness, a breath of life
to the body of mankind, an ensign of the hosts of justice, a luminary
above the horizon of virtue." "Let truthfulness and courtesy be your
adorning," is still another admonition; "suffer not yourselves to be
deprived of the robe of forbearance and justice, that the sweet savors
of holiness may be wafted from your hearts upon all created things.
Say: Beware, O people of Baha, lest ye walk in the ways of them whose
words differ from their deeds. Strive that ye may be enabled to manifest
to the peoples of the earth the signs of God, and to mirror
forth His commandments. Let your acts be a guide unto all mankind, for
the professions of most men, be they high or low, differ from their
conduct. It is through your deeds that ye can distinguish yourselves
from others. Through them the brightness of your light can be shed
upon the whole earth. Happy is the man that heedeth My counsel, and
keepeth the precepts prescribed by Him Who is the All-Knowing, the
All-Wise."Tuesday, August 30, 2011
