…the heart that partakes of the outpouring grace of the Holy
Spirit and becomes sanctified is made goodly and pure. The purpose is that the
reality of man be purified and sanctified from the defilements of the world of
nature, which are vile attributes such as anger, lust, worldliness, pride,
dishonesty, hypocrisy, deceit, self-love, and so on.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Table talks
in Akka, authenticated by ‘Abdu’l-Baha; ‘Some Answered Questions’ – 2014
