Self-discipline, soul, reason, and one’s actions

Moral life consists in the government of one’s self. Immortality is government of a human soul by the Divine Will.

The soul is the Sanctuary of God; Reason is His Throne.

Our actions reveal what we are, no matter what the tongue speaks. 
(Words of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, recorded by Julia Grundy during her pilgrimage in early 1900; ‘Ten Days in the Light of Acca’, Baha’i Publishing Society, Chicago, 1907)
