…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 Bahá, 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.
