O Friends of the Pure and Omnipotent God! To be pure and
holy in all things is an attribute of the consecrated soul and a necessary
characteristic of the unenslaved mind. The best of perfections is immaculacy
and the freeing of oneself from every defect. Once the individual is, in every
respect, cleansed and purified, then will he become a focal centre reflecting
the Manifest Light.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of
‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
