“The essence of faith is fewness of words and abundance of deeds”

“Say: o brethren! Let deeds, not words, be your adorning.”

“Holy words and pure and goodly deeds ascend unto the heaven of celestial glory.”

“O CHILDREN OF ADAM! Holy words and pure and goodly deeds ascend unto the heaven of celestial glory. Strive that your deeds may be cleansed from the dust of self and hypocrisy and find favor at the court of glory; for ere long the assayers of mankind shall, in the holy presence of the Adored One, accept naught but absolute virtue and deeds of stainless purity. This is the daystar of wisdom and of divine mystery that hath shone above the horizon of the divine will. Blessed are they that turn thereunto.”

“The essence of true safety is to observe silence, to look at the end of things and to renounce the world.”

“The betterment of the world can be accomplished through pure and goodly deeds and through commendable and seemly conduct.”

“O SON OF LIGHT! Forget all save Me and commune with My spirit. This is of the essence of My command, therefore turn unto it.”
