On the Brand Baha'i: Through pure and goodly deeds

 

MANA Reflections on the Life of the Spirit

Track 1    THE BETTERMENT

 

Holy words and pure and goodly deeds,

holy words and pure and goodly deeds

 

Beware, O people of Baha,

lest ye walk in the ways of them whose words differ

whose words differ

whose words differ from their deeds.

 

The betterment of the world can be accomplished

through pure and goodly deeds,

through commendable and seemly conduct  X2

 

Beware, O people of Baha,

lest ye walk in the ways of them

whose words differ from their deeds  X  2

 

Holy words and pure and goodly deeds

ascend unto the heaven of celestial glory  X  2

 

O Son of Being! Bring thyself to account each day

ere thou art summoned to a reckoning 

O Son of Being! …

 

Mana lyrics

 

There it is, on the first track of the first album by Mana, the famous quote from the Baha'i Writings about the importance of our words and deeds matching up.

 

Baha'is have a responsibility to maintain the standards of the Faith. The world is watching. We are instructed to take ourselves into account each day. Lisa and Joe reflect with candor and humility on the reality of being known as a Baha'i. -gw
