In one of the Tablets these words have been revealed: O
people of God! Do not busy yourselves in your own concerns; let your thoughts
be fixed upon that which will rehabilitate the fortunes of mankind and sanctify
the hearts and souls of men. This can best be achieved through pure and holy
deeds, through a virtuous life and a goodly behaviour. Valiant acts will ensure
the triumph of this Cause, and a saintly character will reinforce its power.
Cleave unto righteousness, O people of Bahá! This, verily, is the commandment
which this Wronged One hath given unto you, and the first choice of His
unrestrained Will for every one of you.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah
revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
