Much is being talked, and condemned, about sundry matters,

DO NOT WELCOME THEM HASTILY WITH ADMIRATION

NEITHER REJECT THEM EASILY.

THE TRUTH IS GOD HIMSELF,

He does not impose Himself by force but He always TRIUMPHS.

there is always at your side

someone who knows more than you about the subject than you do not know today.

20

Do not allow sweet sleep to close your eyelids

without having weighed up your deeds of the day :

… What did I do?

… What did I not do?

… What should I have done?

20

And if you find faults in your examination,

try to amend them the best way you can

I SWEAR IT!ON BEHALF OF THE ONE who has transmitted to our souls

THE SACRED TETRADE, the immense and pure symbol,

origin and creator essenceof the nature of the eternal course.

22

And once you have become familiar with these norms,let them be your code of living to you:

You will also know in due time,

THE UNITY OF NATUREin all its forms:

vegetable, mineral, animal, human and Divine…and then you will never be expecting for the unexpected

and nothing will be concealed.

22

You will know that “the evils” that afflict you and the rest of the humankind,

have been created by each one of them,

and that when man is placed in his smallness,

cannot see or understand that the greatest wealth is very near him.

For very few know the secret of Happiness

and roll back and forth like wheels, overwhelmed by multiple sorrows,

and they let themselves be drawn by “the chariot” of discord.
