Deeds
Important to yield fruit[edit]
"One who yieldeth no fruit is, in the words of the Spirit, like unto a fruitless tree, and a fruitless tree is fit but for the fire."
- (Bahá'u'lláh, Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh, p. 60)
A deed is its own reward[edit]
"...unto them that are rid of all attachments a deed is, verily, its own reward."
- (Bahá'u'lláh, Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh, p. 189)
Days of idle worship are ended; only the purest motive supported by deeds of stainless purity is now acceptable to God[edit]
"Purge your hearts of worldly desires, and let angelic virtues be your adorning. Strive that by your deeds you may bear witness to the truth of these words of God, and beware lest, by `turning back,' He may `change you for another people,' who `shall not be your like,' and who shall take from you the Kingdom of God. The days when idle worship was deemed sufficient are ended. The time is come when naught but the purest motive, supported by deeds of stainless purity, can ascend to the throne of the Most High and be acceptable unto Him."
- (The Báb, Dawn-Breakers, p. 93)
