Adhere thereto by the Command of the Omnipotent Commander.
Again He says:--"The principle of faith is to lessen words and to increase deeds.

He who words exceed his acts, know verily, that his nonbeing is better than his being, his death better than his life." 'Abdu'l-Baha says:-- Truthfulness is the foundation of all the virtues of mankind.
Without truthfulness, progress and success in all of the worlds are impossible for a soul.

When this holy attribute is established in man, all the other divine qualities will also become realized.
Let the light of truth and honesty shine from your faces so that all may know that your word, in business or pleasure, is a word to trust and be sure of.

Forget self and work for the whole.

(Message to the London Baha'is, October 1911).
Self-Realization Baha'u'llah constantly urges men to realize and give full expression to the perfections latent within them--the true inner self as distinguished from the limited outer self, which at best is but the temple, and too often is the prison of the real man.
