If we profess loyalty to Bahá'u'lláh, to our Beloved Master
and our dear Guardian, then we must show our love by obedience to these
explicit teachings. Deeds not words are what they demand, and no amount of
fervour in the use of expressions of loyalty and adulation will compensate for
failure to live in the spirit of the teachings.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 12 May
1925 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer; The
Compilation of Compilations vol. II)
