O servants! Ye are even as saplings in
a garden, which are near to perishing for want of water. Wherefore, revive your
souls with the heavenly water that is raining down from the clouds of divine
bounty. Words must be followed by deeds. Whoso accepteth the words of the
Friend is in truth a man of deeds; otherwise a dead carcass is verily of
greater worth.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Tabernacle
of Unity’)
