35) Example of Abdu’l-Baha:Ībdu’l-Baha the eldest Son of Bahá’u’lláh-was the Bahá’í Faith’s leading exponent, renowned as a champion of social justice and an ambassador for international peace. We must find a way of spreading love among the sons of humanity.” (Abdu'l-Baha, Paris Talks, p. If there were neither gas nor electricity, the nights of the world would be darkness! So, it is necessary to have an instrument, a motive for love's manifestation, an object, a mode of expression. Coal expresses one of its principles in gas-light, while one of the powers of electricity is shown in the electric light. Without any such means, love would be unseen, unheard, unfelt - altogether unexpressed, unmanifested! Water shows its power in various ways, in quenching thirst, causing seed to grow, etc. In order that love may manifest its power there must be an object, an instrument, a motive. Love manifests its reality in deeds, not only in words - these alone are without effect. “Everyone agrees in saying that love and kindness are best. “What profit is there in agreeing that universal friendship is good, and talking of the solidarity of the human race as a grand ideal? Unless these thoughts are translated into the world of action, they are useless.” (Abdu'l-Baha, Paris Talks, p. Actions are mirrors of the soul.” ― Abdu'l-Bahá By our actions we reveal what is growing in the heart.
The reflection in the glass proves whether we are laughing or frowning. “Sow the seeds of love in the heart and not the seeds of hatred. “Our actions reveal what we are, no matter what the tongue speaks.” ― Abdu’l-Baha “Let deeds, not words, be your adorning.”
