Man must show forth fruits.

A fruitless man, in the words of His Holiness the Spirit (i.e.Christ), is like a fruitless tree, and a fruitless tree is fit for fire .-- BAHA'U'LLAH, Words of Paradise.
Herbert Spencer once remarked that by no political alchemy is it possible to get golden conduct out of leaden instincts, and it is equally true that by no political alchemy is it possible to make a golden society out of leaden individuals.

Baha'u'llah, like all previous Prophets, proclaimed this truth and taught that in order to establish the Kingdom of God in the world, it must first be established in the hearts of men.

In examining the Baha'i teachings, therefore, we shall commence with the instructions of Baha'u'llah for individual conduct, and try to form a clear picture of what it means to be a Baha'i.
Living the Life When asked on one occasion: "What is a Baha'i ?" 'Abdu'l-Baha replied: "To be a Baha'i simply means to love all the world; to love humanity and try to serve it; to work for universal peace and universal brotherhood." On another occasion He defined a Baha'i as "one endowed with all the perfections of man in activity." In one of His London talks He said that a man may be a Baha'i even if He has never heard the name of Baha'u'llah.

He added:-- The man who lives the life according to the teachings of Baha'u'llah is already a Baha'i.
