The need to “sanctify” one’s “heart” “from every defilement”

“He hath chosen out of the whole world the hearts of His servants,” He explains, “and made them each a seat for the revelation of His glory. Wherefore, sanctify them from every defilement, that the things for which they were created may be engraven upon them. This indeed is a token of God’s bountiful favor.” 

- Shoghi Effendi  (Quoting Baháu’lláh in ‘The Advent of Divine Justice’)
