The effect of "pure and goodly deeds"

From: Memorizing the Writings – one quote a week

The betterment of the world can be accomplished through pure and goodly deeds, through commendable and seemly conduct.

(Baha’u’llah, quoted by Shoghi Effendi in ‘The Advent of Divine Justice’; Ruhi Book 1)

the challenge

"To strive to obtain a more adequate understanding of the significance of Bahá'u'lláh's stupendous Revelation must, it is my unalterable conviction, remain the first obligation and the object of the constant endeavor of each one of its loyal adherents. An exact and thorough comprehension of so vast a system, so sublime a revelation, so sacred a trust, is for obvious reasons beyond the reach and ken of our finite minds. We can, however, and it is our bounden duty to seek to derive fresh inspiration and added sustenance as we labor for the propagation of His Faith through a clearer apprehension of the truths it enshrines and the principles on which it is based." (Shoghi Effendi, ‘The World Order of Baha'u'llah’)
