The unity of conduct, and the concentration of our love and striving after good, require belief in One, and only one, Creator, the source of good.

According to Bahya ibn Paquda, in the Duties of the Heart, believing in one Creator, the source of all good, gathers life together: our conduct, our love and our efforts stop scattering and turn together toward the good. Today, choose a single good thing to do — a visit, some help, a job well done — and give it your full attention, without scattering yourself.
