In contemplating the
Master’s divine example we may well reflect that His life and deeds were not
acted to a pattern of expediency, but were the inevitable and spontaneous
expression of His inner self. We, likewise, shall act according to His example
only as our inward spirits, growing and maturing through the disciplines of
prayer and practice of the Teachings, become the wellsprings of all our
attitudes and actions.

the Bahá’ís of the World)
