Wanderings

Let deeds, not words, testify to thy faith, if thou art a man of true learning.

~ Shoghi Effendi, The Dawn-Breakers, p. 286

Shoghi Effendi reminds us here that it is what we do, and not we say, that matters most.  Although a person can claim to be very wise, to have read all of the sacred texts, and even to be a great leader, there is nothing that provides evidence of his faith like the acts that he commits.  Rather than being someone who tells others to “do as I say, and not as I say”, Baha’is are encouraged to let our actions teach others what the love of God is.
