| ‘Abdu’l-Bahá receiving knighthood for relief of distress and famine during the war, April 1920 |
"Without action nothing in the material world can be accomplished, neither can words unaided advance a man in the spiritual Kingdom. It is not through lip-service only that the elect of God have attained to holiness, but by patient lives of active service they have brought light into the world."
"Therefore strive that your actions day by day may be beautiful prayers. Turn towards God, and seek always to do that which is right and noble. Enrich the poor, raise the fallen, comfort the sorrowful, bring healing to the sick, reassure the fearful, rescue the oppressed, bring hope to the hopeless, shelter the destitute!..."
"God, who sees all hearts, knows how far our lives are the fulfillment of our words."
‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Paris Talks
