"The heart must of necessity be spiritual. A tree must be fruitful; it may be very tall, very verdant, but yield no fruits. The fruits of the tree of... human life are the love of God, magnetic, spiritual susceptibilities, good morals and conduct. A person whose tree of life produces such fruits is a Baha'i; otherwise he is of the earth, earthy, self- occupied, and following the dictates of his own desires, and is man only in name. As.. Christ says: 'Ye shall know the tree by its fruits.'" (SofW Vol 7 p151) (79:8) "All those who seek truth in the Heavenly Kingdom shine like stars; they are like fruit trees laden with choice fruit." (Pt 118)
(79:9)
