I

As a created being, man should seek to fulfill the duty of a created being,

and seek to love God without making other choices,

for God is worthy of man’s love.

Those who seek to love God

should not seek, should not seek any personal benefits

or seek that which they personally long for;

this is the most correct means of pursuit.

If what you seek is the truth, if what you practice is the truth,

and if what you attain is a change in your disposition,

then the path that you tread upon is the right one,

the path that you tread upon is the right one.

If what you seek is the truth, if what you practice is the truth,

and if what you attain is a change in your disposition,

then the path that you tread upon is the right one,

the path that you tread upon is the right one.

II

If what you seek is the blessings of the flesh,

and what you practice is the truth of your own notions,

and if there is no change in your disposition,

and you are not submissive to God in the flesh at all,

and you still live in vagueness,

then what you seek will surely take you to hell,

for the path that you walk is the path of failure,

the path that you walk is the path of failure.

Whether you will be made perfect or eliminated

depends on your own pursuit, your own pursuit,

which is also to say that success or failure

depends on the path that man walks.

Whether you will be made perfect or eliminated

depends on your own pursuit, your own pursuit,

which is also to say that success or failure

depends on the path that man walks.
