"The betterment of the world," is yet another statement, "can be accomplished through pure and goodly deeds, through commendable andseemly conduct." "Be fair to yourselves and to others," He thus counseleth them, "that the evidences of justice may be revealedthrough your deeds among Our faithful servants." "Equity," He also has written, "is the most fundamental among human virtues. The evaluationof all things must needs depend upon it." And again, "Observe equity in your judgment, ye men of understanding heart! He that is unjust inhis judgment is destitute of the characteristics that distinguish man's station." "Beautify your tongues, O people," He furtheradmonishes them, "with truthfulness, and adorn your souls with the ornament of honesty. Beware, O people, that ye deal not treacherouslywith anyone. Be ye the trustees of God amongst His creatures, and the emblems of His generosity amidst His people." "Let your eye bechaste," is yet another counsel, "your hand faithful, your tongue truthful, and your heart enlightened." "Be an ornament to thecountenance of truth," is yet another admonition, "a crown to the brow of fidelity, a pillar of the temple of righteousness, a breath of lifeto the body of mankind, an ensign of the hosts of justice, a luminary above the horizon of virtue." "Let truthfulness and courtesy be youradorning," is still another admonition; "suffer not yourselves to be deprived of the robe of forbearance and justice, that the sweet savorsof 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 whosewords differ from their deeds. Strive that ye may be enabled to manifest to the peoples of the earth the signs of God, and to mirrorforth His commandments. Let your acts be a guide unto all mankind, for the professions of most men, be they high or low, differ from theirconduct. It is through your deeds that ye can distinguish yourselves from others. Through them the brightness of your light can be shedupon the whole earth. Happy is the man that heedeth My counsel, and keepeth the precepts prescribed by Him Who is the All-Knowing, theAll-Wise."The betterment of the world
