"... that Solomon's wisdom was greater than the wisdom of all that dwell in the east ...
And he wrote three thousand proverbs and songs a thousand and five."
(1 Kings 5)
PART ONE
1
When a great man is yet unrecognized,
He remains true to himself and is ready
To look intently on praise and blame
And calmly he waits on his hour.
2
What distinguishes the noble ones,
Is seriously, absolute reliability,
He acts for others without cunning,
Without effort for the comrades in his time.
3
True greatness is not attempted.
In germination of time is seen already the fruit
Of the new time, the rest of the old time in her lap,
So it is not wrong, so you stay spotless.
4
Either way you can forward pass:
As a hero you can swing into the air
And be decisive in the great life,
Or you can seek to be a saint,
To live hidden and to suffer in silence.
Everyone must decide on his way.
5
Are you so high risen,
To fly lonely like an eagle,
And not to live more in common with the chickens,
Well, you're just lonely.
6
If the convincing is at full strength,
So comes devotion, purity of conception.
When the creative creates his works,
It it a conception in unity.
7
There are spirit and nature,
There are heaven and earth,
The eternal and the temporal,
That man and woman will unite.
"... that Solomon's wisdom was greater than the wisdom of all that dwell in the east ...
And he wrote three thousand proverbs and songs a thousand and five."

7
There are spirit and nature,
There are heaven and earth,
The eternal and the temporal,
That man and woman will unite.
8
As important as the creatively - convincing
Is the conception’s total dedication.
But the conception which is prone,
Humility is her great gift.
The creative must lead, because
The conception affects salvation.
Wanted Conception detach from the creativity,
Would be the mother of evil.
9
Nature has grown to the Creator,
She realized with her axes
The spiritual stimulation only by the Creator,
Compare her to the potter's clay pot,
Will she be cornucopia called in honour,
As a mother nourishing all living things.
It is her size and her splendor,
That she makes everything look beautiful and gorgeous.
So a chosen mother is nature,
To give the creatures thrive.
The Creator creates from the will, the free will,
The creatures are born from nature.
10
The state of the black mother earth
Will be hailed as receiving devotion.
11
The earth in its devotion carries,
What stirs in good and evil.
So also makes his character the holy man,
That he can endure all people.
12
Nature gives birth to the honest nature,
Without lies and without desires,
She is calm and quiet,
She is every creature which wants good,
And without external power battles
Does she affect the rights for all beings.
For the people it is pure wisdom,
To be so selfless as Mother Nature.
13
The sage leaves others like fame,
He does not seek reward for his creativity,
To be unknown, creates him no sorrow,
He works his work in humility
And acts in his narrow districts,
This is the reason that his wisdom can affect the future.
14
The higher world can not be left to the shadows,
She trusts to spouses the light in humility.
The light may be praised as the highest,
Humbly beings arrange themselves under the earth.
Will the shadow of the earth but have the power,
So comes the anger and the dark night.
Is heaven’s dragon come,
The false earthly dragon seized his power.
15
Below is the arousing,
Upward is the moving,
Above is the unfathomable and the dangerous,
Down is the covetous,
Below is the thunder and the rain is above,
If chaos stirs.
16
Expectant times
Prepare
Difficulties.
17
If the beginning times come as fate,
If everything is misshapen, swimming in darkness,
So patiently wait for the pious man.
18
Assistants are good, diverse
Council need to cope with the chaos.
19
In the chaos, full of difficulty
Is the way in the early days,
Eventually be found in infinity,
Silk skein unraveling, combining to form strands.
20
So taught the way of the ancients:
You have to keep your goal in mind.
One searches the agents without cunning,
The only place, who is not arrogant.
Arrogance can not stand assistants,
Help you to find the way, he remains humble.
21
If in difficult times
One wants to help prepare,
He can provide relief!
With his helping force
The helper from the stranger and far,
So you shy him, and he helps also ,
Like one example shy, teaches poetry,
One shy long commitment.
So the he-pigeon remains faithful to the she-pigeon
And does not follow the cuckoo, the robber.
22
If the superior man looks to the coming
Previously, as a future bride,
He will therefore abstain on his own wishes
Better than to destroy himself through desire.
23
Can you find connection
And good people bind you,
Neither pride nor shame stop you.
With courage of overcomers
Practice self-denial, and do so
Selfless and courageous first steps.
24
Not change the situation by force,
Only trust makes the friendship old,
Only faithful work creates the weapons,
Creates awareness and duration.
25
Bloody tears pour out now!
No, you can not do it constantly.
26
O helpless folly of youth,
Because of the fools, there is virtue!
27
In mental power with wisdom’s shield
Teache the fools, but in gentleness.
Know to take the woman, the moon,
Like a knight spares his lady.
28
Childlike folly brings good fortune,
This foolishness is wisdom, because,
The childlike policy examined
The harvest soon of wisdom’s fruit.
29
Only those who are strong and firm on the earth,
Can cope with their fate,
The strong, more than the too delicate,
Can wait and wait in patience.
30
Look at the things as they are,
Eye-catching, do not be blind,
Be free from self-deception and illusion
And you gain a light to the wage,
This reveals the way of salvation.
Then handle strongly and firmly.
31
At rest, gather strength,
Strengthen yourself with bread and grape juice,
Strengthen the body of flesh and blood,
The spirit of cheerfulness and good courage.
32
High wisdom we want to indicate:
Treat you the creative people
Always with a relaxing break,
May they rest in a cheerful home.
They should rest and not be inhibited,
Laughter will not be alien to them,
Waiting their things for sure, they believe:
No one can rob me of my serenity.

33
The happiness often comes differently than one thinks,
The happy comes often and seems to be a foreigner.
The desire veiled, what we believe to be desired,
The gifts come from above in suitable shapes.
34
What is the knotting of friendship?
The foundation is only truth without cunning.
35
The all is content,
Not the empty shape.
Not in words of science
Is the empire, but in inner strength!
36
Are you among the people’s choirs,
Which not belong to your sphere,
Do not be confidential.
For people who do not edifying,
Courtesy suits you,
Society without intimacy.
Then you will achieve once also
Friendship with your kindsmen.
37
Thou shalt not solicit favour of men,
You shalt live in purity and power.
How does he manage the collection of the soul,
So you will inherit the grace,
That such a man takes you to his friend,
Which is preordained to you by fate.
38
Is is impossible for you, the external effect
At times, the stormy roar,
This leaves even the world petrified,
The people stony, that you refine your nature.
39
One would like advance,
But you can see the wise man,
His essence a non-alien,
Inhibited this path.
You'll be blamed too
By people who hate you,
The wise always in view,
If you draw back still.
Will you take the path of the wise,
You do not need to be ashamed
And come not in danger of your life
And holy divulge.
40
What is loyalty,
The wisdom to rejoice in?
When the weaker sex
Is loyalty, she is receiving in total dedication.
When the stronger sex is rightly,
It is the reliability of grace.
Such supplement immediately
Is power both rich.
Such wealth reserves not loneliness,
One is together with his partner.
41
Did you do it with savages,
Keep rest in yourself,
Keep peace in the heart’s center,
Handle in accordance with virtue and morality,
Good and pleasant form
Charmes savages enormous.
42
It takes humanity's hierarchy.
Never good is universal equality.
However, the hierarchy must be just,
Otherwise, jockeying and fighting will be.
The difference in rank must really
Be formed by internal law,
The inner dignity alone
Desires a degree of rank.
When calm is the pious man,
The human race is going to be okay.
43
If one is simply in every direction,
One stays free of obligation
And follows one's own heart’s inclination
And spiritual self-creation.
He demands nothing here below from the people
And is happy with his lot.
44
The dark man's insistence
Brings salvation.
The wise man keeps himself away from fools
And stays on his own part.
Wisdom alone is his love,
He stays away from the world’s gear.
He does not demand anything from the people,
He remains true to himself
And walks on the road of light
Through life ever new.
Because he is frugal
And to fate docile,
Therefore he remains free from entanglements.
The happiness often comes differently than one thinks,
The happy comes often and seems to be a foreigner.

45
How do you recognize yourself?
The fruit of thy works shall call you.
46
Prevail the people of the heavenly spirit,
Who ascend the sensuality of tears,
So it is dedicated to the spirit,
So is their right sensuality.
47
The uneducated must
The manner in mildness bear
Passing through the river,
Chase after peace.
48
The true greatness will not go into debt,
Will be patient for the imperfect.
The Master knows no empty material,
In particular, the ideal lives.
The Master may by wearing patiently
The ideal of the matter suggest.
49
All earthly things are changing,
Not sad do it yourself!
Your inner being stay strong
And stronger than the outer curd,
Then you're superior to fate
And live constantly in blessing.
50
The superior man can not be swayed
And be sticking to his principles.
If there is no chance to act,
He hides in the interior districts.
51
Set your heart in front of the Tabernacle!
Those who act on commands of the Most High,
They are without blemish,
With comrades they convert.
52
The true human community
And the true friends
Do not live selfishly like many,
They are united by humanity’s objectives.
53
The location is convenient,
When you are fervent in love.
By your true love
You are going to win children.
But is not mildness alone sufficient,
Stirs soon the wild,
Then you are the evil-dooer,
Defiantly disagree.
You have the audacity of wild figures
By keeping strict dignity in check.
This is part of the wise,
Then comes the healing.
54
Honor the wise with awe and love,
He is not involved in world’s transmission.
So you gain in your ways
His blessing.
55
Who converts truely,
Pure thinking good,
The wise docile encountered
The blessing from God.
56
The mountain is representative
Of heaven in earthly country.
He gives the blessing from heaven,
Rain clouds swarm,
Which gather tightly around its summit.
Above it shines transfigured in celestial light.
Such is the modesty
In high people in vigor.
57
Heaven makes the fullness empty
And gives the modesty more.
This act hints
And is waiting in human destiny also.
58
Fate follows fixed laws,
But you practice, you suspend
On your walks of life
The good force’s full blessing,
To unfold the blessing,
So you can customize your destiny.
A man is also high,
If he would be expressed but modest.
Sun lit on his face
Wisdom’s light.
59
The abundance of the heart is full, my dear,
Which flows over the lips.
Is a modest inside,
Thus show also the senses.
So the humble will act powerful,
Nobody pushes him out of his districts.
60
Everything must remain moderate,
Even humility you can overdo.
61
Unlike the wise’s modesty
Is an indifferent good nature.
62
Modesty, see,
Is also in severity.
63
Modesty takes the powerful weapons,
Creating good order.
Modest certainly
Starts with the self.
The wise who knows
Start with the closest circle.
Lead the armies masses,
Lead them not into the flight,
You should let them march
Against thee, even in strict disciplinarian!
64
The thunder-storm refreshes nature.
After a long voltage only
Comes joy.
So also music has the power,
To tent in the hearts of the people
And to solve the feelings and nights.
Enthusiasm in the heart’s exuberance
Dissolves in singing.
For the salvation of the heart’s wounds
Music is perceived as a mystery.
65
The love of the Creator of the world
Is united with love
To the saints in heaven.
The religious instincts
Collect to religious paths
And also invite the holy ancestors
To worship in the earthly country.
So between God and men, the testimony
Is closes in sanctification
And religious enthusiasm.
66
The noble man allows himself,
Who pondered the day
And worked all the time,
At night sweet repose.
How do you recognize yourself?
The fruit of thy works shall call you.
46
Prevail the people of the heavenly spirit,
Who ascend the sensuality of tears,
So it is dedicated to the spirit,
So is their right sensuality.

And religious enthusiasm.
66
The noble man allows himself,
Who pondered the day
And worked all the time,
At night sweet repose.
67
Follow the principle, not the appearance,
So will not fluctuate during the day your opinion.
Listenest you to other people's opinions,
Search not only like-minded people.
Always ask what it meant,
For all the wisdom of men thinks
For the friends and the enemies.
In the great human community
You have to penetrate wisdom,
So you'll do great things.
68
In friendship alone
Thou shalt be careful.
Society is real good either
Or corrupt and bad.
You can not good gifts
And at the same time have the wicked.
Do you give yourself back the vile,
Where is he who is important for you?
Remember solely the good blessing,
To encourage you assets.
69
Close you're good
To people with lust,
Does that expected of you
The other men loss?
You must by the opponent lichen,
Lowly, superficial,
Foolish divorce.
But that is no suffering.
Are you here on earth, the good guys
Inside the soul pacify.
God-breathed your soul
Finds the good people,
Which are important for you,
That does your personality do.
One must grasp the good,
That is wisdom’s witnessing,
And not everyday inclination
Can make astray.
70
Every human being must have something
Which he follows with all the gifts,
This will serve as his guiding star.
Who published the true wisdom
And who becomes the model, is good,
The is in this verse
Good mood
And warms the heart.
71
Not every person is obliged to
For example one of the seals,
To interfere in worldly business.
Others are noisy at the tables,
Everything is fragmented,
But the nobles are so far developed
That they internally detect wisdom,
To let the world take its course,
Without getting to the earthly throne
To toil in the reformation.
But they are not passively
Or merely critical.
The work for higher goals,
Humanity to reach,
Is the authority of the devotees,
Such withdrawal characteristics.
The wise man keeps away the day’s gear
And acts just in seclusion
Out of sheer human love
True values for future times.
72
The lake is inexhaustible deep,
Thus, the manner called
People for doctrine,
For stimulating knowledge.
The earth is far and wide
And bears the creatures of time,
Bears the way as well
He cherishes the people and
That they enjoy his wisdom,
Without a people ruled out.
73
A wise man who overcomes the world,
Beads become his wounds,
He can not go into the situation,
To come back into this world,
To approach other men.
Since there is no spot in the seers,
But a people stimulating,
They find his help and instruction.
74
If the devotion is with faith
And full of truth,
So faith is viewing,
But loosens the soul’s derangement
The blind and the deaf
In their folly.
75
When the holy man accumulates inside
And stammers the praise of God
And praises the deity in holiness
With his mature personality,
So he looks at the divine life,
Is realizing God in the man of God.
From his face a power
Proceeds to them which at night
The holy man will subdue
And their spirits sharpen,
Without that they are inside the chest,
The effect of any themselves are aware of.
76
Free of the personality
And all self-centeredness
And from the outside world’s gear
Considering the way of God's love
And the law of life’s miracles,
Thus, the way is free from blemish.
77
The grace is enormous,
The beautiful shape
Was obtained by purification,
They need to unite,
So the union is lovely
And wild and sad.
78
Watch the dormant beauty in abundance,
Your beautiful truth:
Inner clarity,
Outer silence.
This is the rest of the pure
Contemplation of the One and All.
If the desire is silent,
The will tends to rest,
Then enters the world
As present
In appearance.
In my opinion,
Is this world the beautiful,
The fight and sorrow of being
Escapes
And comes to rest.
But not merely considered
If the will puts to rest,
For he will wake up again and again
Like the sleeping dragon.
Everything beautiful was just a moment
Surveying,
That is not what is called
Redemption and recovery.
Follow the principle, not the appearance,
So will not fluctuate during the day your opinion.
Listenest you to other people's opinions,
Search not only like-minded people.
Always ask what it meant,
For all the wisdom of men thinks
For the friends and the enemies.
In the great human community
You have to penetrate wisdom,
So you'll do great things.
68
In friendship alone
Thou shalt be careful.
Society is real good either
Or corrupt and bad.
You can not good gifts
And at the same time have the wicked.
Do you give yourself back the vile,
Where is he who is important for you?
Remember solely the good blessing,
To encourage you assets.
69
Close you're good
To people with lust,
Does that expected of you
The other men loss?
You must by the opponent lichen,
Lowly, superficial,
Foolish divorce.
But that is no suffering.
Are you here on earth, the good guys
Inside the soul pacify.
God-breathed your soul
Finds the good people,
Which are important for you,
That does your personality do.
One must grasp the good,
That is wisdom’s witnessing,
And not everyday inclination
Can make astray.
70
Every human being must have something
Which he follows with all the gifts,
This will serve as his guiding star.
Who published the true wisdom
And who becomes the model, is good,
The is in this verse
Good mood
And warms the heart.
71
Not every person is obliged to
For example one of the seals,
To interfere in worldly business.
Others are noisy at the tables,
Everything is fragmented,
But the nobles are so far developed
That they internally detect wisdom,
To let the world take its course,
Without getting to the earthly throne
To toil in the reformation.
But they are not passively
Or merely critical.
The work for higher goals,
Humanity to reach,
Is the authority of the devotees,
Such withdrawal characteristics.
The wise man keeps away the day’s gear
And acts just in seclusion
Out of sheer human love
True values for future times.
72
The lake is inexhaustible deep,
Thus, the manner called
People for doctrine,
For stimulating knowledge.
The earth is far and wide
And bears the creatures of time,
Bears the way as well
He cherishes the people and
That they enjoy his wisdom,
Without a people ruled out.
73
A wise man who overcomes the world,
Beads become his wounds,
He can not go into the situation,
To come back into this world,
To approach other men.
Since there is no spot in the seers,
But a people stimulating,
They find his help and instruction.
74
If the devotion is with faith
And full of truth,
So faith is viewing,
But loosens the soul’s derangement
The blind and the deaf
In their folly.
75
When the holy man accumulates inside
And stammers the praise of God
And praises the deity in holiness
With his mature personality,
So he looks at the divine life,
Is realizing God in the man of God.
From his face a power
Proceeds to them which at night
The holy man will subdue
And their spirits sharpen,
Without that they are inside the chest,
The effect of any themselves are aware of.
76
Free of the personality
And all self-centeredness
And from the outside world’s gear
Considering the way of God's love
And the law of life’s miracles,
Thus, the way is free from blemish.
77
The grace is enormous,
The beautiful shape
Was obtained by purification,
They need to unite,
So the union is lovely
And wild and sad.
78
Watch the dormant beauty in abundance,
Your beautiful truth:
Inner clarity,
Outer silence.
This is the rest of the pure
Contemplation of the One and All.
If the desire is silent,
The will tends to rest,
Then enters the world
As present
In appearance.
In my opinion,
Is this world the beautiful,
The fight and sorrow of being
Escapes
And comes to rest.
But not merely considered
If the will puts to rest,
For he will wake up again and again
Like the sleeping dragon.
Everything beautiful was just a moment
Surveying,
That is not what is called
Redemption and recovery.
79
Corollary is the form,
The content is the norm.
80
Who wears simple grace,
Does each piece of jewelry wear as nothing.
The form no longer covers
Hiding the content,
But let him come into his own.
The highest grace, O my righteous one,
Is not ornament and splendor,
But simple and true design.
81
November. Pushy the woman,
Displaces the man's strong body,
She huddle to approach the commons,
In nothing advised the pure.
82
Below the earth is docile,
Devoted, self-sufficient,
Above is the mountain of silence,
Quiet is the will.
In bad times you
Learn to be silent.
83
This is not cowardice,
But wisdom,
If you walke silent
And avoid the action.
84
You are in a bad environment
From people of meaner aspiration,
But you look in the inside
Of the godlike holy man,
So he stands as a support to you,
You stay clear of the people,
So you get into contrast to the people.
You should not be interpreted as error.
85
Only when the fruit falls to the ground,
Grows the good tree for the world.
86
Evil is not the good perishing,
Evil is nothing more than mortal,
Evil itself destroyed,
There is nothing as nothing compressed,
It lives an appearance of evil
And is only the good in negation,
With negation it begins
So that it can not exist.
87
Winter solstice,
The year ends,
That is the period of rest.
The earth far and wide
Hides the life’s force,
In the depths of the flood.
Firstly move
Does not the violent,
Therefore one must firstly excite
By peace strongly,
That it accumulates in silence
And not itself exploited runs.
Returns the healthy
After falling ill,
Leave the rest to you patronize,
Then you will not waver.
After the split
The first understanding
Needs by rest to
be tamed,
Then comes the liberation.
88
Small deviation from the good
Not deserves the same rod,
Once you have gone too far,
Simultaneously, the reverse will start.
Form your character,
Avoid the wild thoughts,
Before the pesky
Evil thoughts solidify,
They need to be eliminated.
So you're well on earth.
89
The reverse must
Have a decision
Of self-mastery.
For penetration
The reverse of the way of enemies
Helps the community’s good.
Bend down in humility
And take the good shepherd's crook.
90
Not everything is true nature,
But true nature is only
Which is governed by the spirit,
Nature otherwise degenerates.
91
Man receives from heaven
The original good nature,
She leads him through the world’s throng
On the good way.
By total surrender to God, the all-unity,
Obtain the human innocence and purity.
Without squinting after benefit and wage
Follow the heaven of heavens, o son.
92
Not everything is justice instinctively,
But only what deep
And deeper is than the world’s throng
And complies with heaven.
93
When the life’s force in immanence
Heaven upsets in springtime,
Everything grows and sprouts,
Overflows life,
Then receives each creature
From the creative nature of God
The innocence as the origin of beings,
Recovered from all death.
94
The heart's impulse origin
Causes the good movement.
Be consequent to your heart’s signs,
So you'll achieve happiness.
95
Do the work for the work's sake,
Fulfill your duty
Without squinting for success,
Then you’ll come to the highest goals.
96
Be concerned about yourself and stay free
In your inner being faithful,
Do not be deceived by the people,
You shalt not listen to the crowd.
97
In words and deeds
The past
Is wisdom, we advise you
From concealment.
This wisdom’s man
Can live
To strengthen the character
And feel sanctification.
Assiduously study
And be not only full of historical knowledge,
But full of the knowledge thar enlivens the wise man,
As he applies it to the present.
98
Want a man nourishes,
Shalt be intellectual honour!
99
Do you want to know woman or man,
So you look at them,
What part of his nature
Man above all is exquisite,
This fact honors him,
Soothes and nourishes him.
Who cares especially about the abdomen,
This is a wicked woman.
Who directs towards the spiritual soul her show,
This is a noble woman!
100
Look at the tree
Fixed in the landscape’s area,
Not in the woods together,
This tree stands lonely
And yet the crown is cheerful
And smiles ever
And undaunted heaven sends the greeting,
Even if he has to renounce the world.
Then comes the liberation.
88

PART TWO
1
In the general
mutual
Attraction of the pure,
Timely,
Momentary being
Is lucky
Propriety,
If the male initiative
Leans deep beneath the female.
2
Inner royalty keeping still
In the outer joy’s forces
Causes moderate joy,
Remain so the mannered people.
3
Attraction of a kindred
And internally soul friend
Is under the creatures
A law of nature.
Through such attraction works here below
The manner without missing
On the human souls,
And the world comes to peace.
4
Keep it low and inwardly free
And stay away from a teachable process,
Who wants to know everything always better,
He soon remains silent the advice.
5
Each heart’s mood and emotion of the mind
Creates movement.
Where your heart desired, my son,
Then rush your thighs,
Without considering the coming pain,
Follow the legs of the heart.
But hear the whisper’s way:
Do not follow your mood
And take not yourself to be caught by whims,
Otherwise you'll be ashamed of yourself soon.
Hold you to your own happiness
Prudence back.
Consequence, not as aimless walking,
The prevailing moods of others.
Come in the heart of pleasure or pain,
Stay free and tame your heart.
6
Association is in the earthly country
A permanent condition.
7
Marriage is not for loyalty detractors,
Steady is the union of the sexes.
Promoting the man of the world
Arises under the girl.
When marriage is then
Externally, the leadership is of man,
While inside the woman
Obey and trust the man.
8
The connection without sorrow
Although is permanent,
But does not stop at a stop,
But is shown in movement,
Movement of life wants to dance
One law, which orders the whole.
Grasp each other's hands.
Start following each end,
Living life eternally.
Thus, the duration is infinite.
9
They who called
The world for the highest profit,
From the gift of the spirit
Have a solid inner sense,
So they certainly converts here below,
How the world finds peace.
10
The wise man is not like the fool,
Harden and rigid,
He remains in motion,
Converts in and over time.
But his essence remains in direction
Directed to the Most High,
It is the annihilation of the world
But not even destroyed.
He follow his own star,
His heart’s inner Lord.
11
Do you want to create enduring things,
So the mind’s sharp weapon
Through persistent work is patience.
Think and care for the cult
Of thinking, to think calmly.
Then your work will give you your self.
12
Driving up the feelings
Spontaneous as children's games
And fleeting as the flowers in spring,
If you lose the character of consequence,
Such whims lead in haste
To shame and embarrassment.
13
The woman the man follows closely,
The man pursues his duty.
Man does not follow his wife,
This old error is not confidential.
The woman was intensively
To the tradition connected conservative.
The man moved follows the light
And fulfills the obligation of wisdom.
14
Below you see the mountain, the coarse,
Heaven moves upwards,
The fine heaven incomparable
Stays high and unreachable.
So act the wise and pure
Compared to the common people.
He retires with a smiling glance
Inwardly back.
What on his way he does not feel is this:
He carries in himself no hate.
Who stirs up hate in the heart’s wounds,
Stays connected to the common people.
15
During withdrawal of the higher modes,
This is true to his action:
With a friendly smile, silent,
He gladly takes leave.
The retreat inside in him is easy,
Because he reached his ideal.
He can rest in his wisdom,
His soul does inflict no violence.
Who suffers, pulls back the pure,
That alone is the congregation.
Without the guidance of the pious
Does the congregation degenerate.
16
The wise man recognizes the right time
To retreat into solitude.
Who retires at the right time,
Himself does not suggest a heart wound.
Without confusion, delusion,
The soul lives without wild outrage,
If the retreat at the right time
Happens in mild friendliness.
Friendly manner must act
But hard as he has to stay with his decision,
Must not by the opinion of the masses
Be led astray in his way.
17
True greatness in holiness
Conforms to justice.
In times of great strength
Do not something that contradicts the law.
18
The light of the sun apparently,
By nature, it is clear,
The higher it rises with fires,
Rises more from the vapors
And shines in immaculate purity
With heaven in unity.
So the man of origin is well,
Is but his flesh and blood
Of the earth cloudy.
Refining so one must love,
For the love shines in clarity
Of the primordial truth.
19
If one finds no confidence in the masses,
The superior way is left behind.
20
So the sage lives with the amount brood:
He wrapped his spirit and remains inside the light.
21
Leave some rest,
Let gates do not do damage to you.
22
Strut to the highest goal,
Are you also to people a lot,
Fools brothers and sisters fools,
They not understand you, they revile you.
23
If the darkness is high,
Hurt them the good,
Is the good overcoming the time’s beings,
The darkness itself dries up,
She's just contradiction of light,
Without kindness evil is nothing.
24
Words only have power and strength,
Are they based on real roots.
Eventually the words relate to reality
And not just empty nothingness,
Thus, their effect is large,
Empty talk is ineffective.
Also true words,
The real issues of action,
Words of real variety,
Must be accompanied by convertion
And noble demeanor.
25
Forcibly not capture the things,
Just do your duty day by day.
26
Who cultivates his inner man,
His power of truth impresses.
27
Heaven and earth, spirit and nature,
Woman and man
Are in creation not in vain,
They cause the duration of life.
28
In all human loneliness
Maintains the way its particularity.
29
A person who belongs to us,
Moves away, infatuated,
Coming of himself again,
To add members to the body.
Middle but the fools,
So you do not have to borrow you,
Not scare them that are lost,
But thou shalt endure the left.
30
If you're in a society,
The dir is an alien to,
So you're either together
In other loneliness yet.
But if you find a human being
And you are connected with the truth,
When you finally found
The soul mate,
Then he bestows your trust,
The lonely is still looking for friendship.
31
The barrier takes time,
But not forms the personality.
32
Did you leave the world’s gear
And there is an obstacle for the world,
Not flee into the afterlife! Out of love
Handle in the world as a hero.
Do not save your soul alone,
For the world you shall be a savior.
Your inner freedom can
Bring the world 's salvation.
Look at the holy man
And follow steeply his way.
33
Dissolve the excitement and involvement,
So turn from the dismemberment
To the usual ratio back.
Inner peace brings happiness.
34
Is the liberation achieved,
Again shows the order.
Stay still, leftovers from the dispute,
So you cleans the time.
Make a clean sweep
And live again fresh.
35
The obstacle is over,
Exemption made free.
Now live your will
In peace and quiet.
Recover you from the battles,
This is the right thing.
36
Free yourself from casual acquaintance,
Then draw near to see the kinship.
How should the like-minded people trust you,
If they look at you in alliance with fools?
37
Simplicity in religion,
Simplicity in art, my son!
Outer beauty is a mockery,
The intrinsic value is sufficient to God.
38
The superior man tames his anger out of love
And inhibits his wild instincts.
39
By reduction of the lower passion
You will enrich the spiritual soul’s force.
40
If you have done your duty,
Have met God's plan,
Thou shalt wander,
Give love to another.
But if you help a soul,
The good man then chooses,
How much help he can accept
From the serving man.
Only where such delicacy feelings live,
You can give without hesitation.
41
Who throws himself away to support others,
To nothing he will not be useed permanently.
Serve without abandoning yourself,
So is of lasting value your life.
42
True ruling must be serving.
A victim of the higher, granting grace,
Causes of the low a stimulation.
This spirit can save the world alone.
43
Does the superior good,
At once he does.
Did the noble stain and err,
He does it from the soul.
44
Is the blessing enormous,
So even distress is great.
The noble goes in his ways
To increase and blessing.
He is clean.
And he lives united to the truth,
He acquires inner authority,
As if he is in an office.
45
You must be between the leader and the followers,
For the operator of blessings
Be a selfless personality,
The pour as a leader of the blessing ends
In the led, for that determines it.
The mediator does not take anything for himself.
46
Real goodness does not expect,
The emergency is in accordance with its duty.
Health is spend to the sick,
Whether or not it also find wage and thanks.
Whose goodness dwells in his heart,
Is rewarded with goodness itself.
47
The high to the low is the increase,
The way of the simple teaching.
Is it not aid all together,
Man soon is lonely.
48
You must rest inside,
Before you do something!
Remember yourself,
Before you speaketh!
49
Are in the heart the shoots rut,
So darkens reason.
Battles, overcoming the passion,
Then the good reigns with force.
50
Choose the determination,
It consists of strength and friendliness.
But never may the righteous
Compromise with the bad.
Lead the fight against the evil shape,
Do not force,
Otherwise fights the evil with weapons
And it will create to defeat you,
Because you own the dispute without ceasing
And you'll be involved in evil hatred.
If the evil bleeds to death,
Stride before you in the good.
51
Who layeth up treasures for himself only,
Without that, the little ones enjoy,
The experienced who stops the aphorism,
Soon collapses.
52
Want to form the inner man,
Do not be stubborn like savages,
But you shall want to self-education drive,
Thou shall remain impressionable.
Because that is honorable,
The way is teachable.
53
Win the people reason,
So flees the animal rut.
Is a saint just perfect,
So follow him piously.
Prudence is the man
And puts on the armor,
The armor of sanctity,
Then he is safe.
54
If the superior man, honored by God,
With common people errs,
Does he have to keep the inner purity,
Keeping himself away from all wickedness.
Is he the wicked in the same country see,
If the pure misunderstood him,
We mistake the pure
And hold him even for a common one.
Alone, he is in the land,
There is no one who understands him.
His relationship with the common people
Seems to pollute the pure,
Is he also a hero before God,
Is he dirty in the eyes of the world.
But if the world fails to recognize him also,
He does not run into the traps,
He remains free from sin
And stays true to himself.
55
Comes with the dark feminine
The power of the earthly and bodily things,
The man on wisdom’s paths
As opposed seduction,
Does he recognize the consequences,
If he do not run into the traps.
56
As the common people come up,
Imagine a brazen hussy ago,
You'll get award frivolous
And do rule so white.
But the woman's power is naught,
Precludes the strong and light.
If the strong and light, the hero
But in weakness and sins falls,
Then the temptress wins with flattering,
Your beautiful makes hypocrisy.
The folly seems so childlike in heart,
The wise man thinks that he could joke with her.
57
A mutual concession
Of man and woman
And mind and body
If necessary to the pious man.
But it should be free from the ill
Of sin’s ulterior motives.
58
If an inferior element
Runs on your way,
Thou shalt inhibit it,
You shalt strong brace against it.
Will you let it proliferate, you will suffer,
You have to avoid the bad effect.
59
What are you doing at the lower figure?
You are doing the lower ones not to force.
Dominate them gently and without anger,
So it is not bad.
60
The common people
Thou shalt this day endure,
This leaves the child of the world to you, child of the light,
Well-mindedness.
Will alienate the pious man,
The fact that he did not preclude in the child of the world,
The child of the world so turns away,
Then you miss his staff,
He sometimes offered as an aid
In an earthly trouble.
Will he drive so proud of the way,
Did he attribute it to himself.
61
The common woman is a melon,
She's cute, but not without
What it is easy to get lazy
And a bitter taste in the mouth.
A wise and humble hero
Protectively holds his hands
About the melon-woman
And her sweet body.
But he will only win,
If he has inside the beauty in itself.
He does not need to brag about wisdom,
Not to paint the gloss on his face,
He does not have annoying reminders,
Speaking about the woman's plans.
Only if they also indebted,
That he graciously tolerate her.
It is transformed over time
Through the model of personality.
Is the only way is holy and immaculate,
It is the woman
With her sweet body
As a sweet melon in the womb!
62
Who retires from the world,
Often deceived by life malevolence,
Which is unspeakable,
1
In the general
mutual
Attraction of the pure,
Timely,
Momentary being
Is lucky
Propriety,
If the male initiative
Leans deep beneath the female.

12

Spontaneous as children's games
And fleeting as the flowers in spring,
If you lose the character of consequence,
Such whims lead in haste
To shame and embarrassment.
13
The woman the man follows closely,
The man pursues his duty.
Man does not follow his wife,
This old error is not confidential.
The woman was intensively
To the tradition connected conservative.
The man moved follows the light
And fulfills the obligation of wisdom.
14
Below you see the mountain, the coarse,
Heaven moves upwards,
The fine heaven incomparable
Stays high and unreachable.
So act the wise and pure
Compared to the common people.
He retires with a smiling glance
Inwardly back.
What on his way he does not feel is this:
He carries in himself no hate.
Who stirs up hate in the heart’s wounds,
Stays connected to the common people.
15
During withdrawal of the higher modes,
This is true to his action:
With a friendly smile, silent,
He gladly takes leave.
The retreat inside in him is easy,
Because he reached his ideal.
He can rest in his wisdom,
His soul does inflict no violence.
Who suffers, pulls back the pure,
That alone is the congregation.
Without the guidance of the pious
Does the congregation degenerate.
16
The wise man recognizes the right time
To retreat into solitude.
Who retires at the right time,
Himself does not suggest a heart wound.
Without confusion, delusion,
The soul lives without wild outrage,
If the retreat at the right time
Happens in mild friendliness.
Friendly manner must act
But hard as he has to stay with his decision,
Must not by the opinion of the masses
Be led astray in his way.
17
True greatness in holiness
Conforms to justice.
In times of great strength
Do not something that contradicts the law.
18
The light of the sun apparently,
By nature, it is clear,
The higher it rises with fires,
Rises more from the vapors
And shines in immaculate purity
With heaven in unity.
So the man of origin is well,
Is but his flesh and blood
Of the earth cloudy.
Refining so one must love,
For the love shines in clarity
Of the primordial truth.
19
If one finds no confidence in the masses,
The superior way is left behind.
20
So the sage lives with the amount brood:
He wrapped his spirit and remains inside the light.
21
Leave some rest,
Let gates do not do damage to you.
22
Strut to the highest goal,
Are you also to people a lot,
Fools brothers and sisters fools,
They not understand you, they revile you.
23
If the darkness is high,
Hurt them the good,
Is the good overcoming the time’s beings,
The darkness itself dries up,
She's just contradiction of light,
Without kindness evil is nothing.
24
Words only have power and strength,
Are they based on real roots.
Eventually the words relate to reality
And not just empty nothingness,
Thus, their effect is large,
Empty talk is ineffective.
Also true words,
The real issues of action,
Words of real variety,
Must be accompanied by convertion
And noble demeanor.
25
Forcibly not capture the things,
Just do your duty day by day.
26
Who cultivates his inner man,
His power of truth impresses.
27
Heaven and earth, spirit and nature,
Woman and man
Are in creation not in vain,
They cause the duration of life.
28
In all human loneliness
Maintains the way its particularity.
29
A person who belongs to us,
Moves away, infatuated,
Coming of himself again,
To add members to the body.
Middle but the fools,
So you do not have to borrow you,
Not scare them that are lost,
But thou shalt endure the left.
30
If you're in a society,
The dir is an alien to,
So you're either together
In other loneliness yet.
But if you find a human being
And you are connected with the truth,
When you finally found
The soul mate,
Then he bestows your trust,
The lonely is still looking for friendship.
31
The barrier takes time,
But not forms the personality.
32
Did you leave the world’s gear
And there is an obstacle for the world,
Not flee into the afterlife! Out of love
Handle in the world as a hero.
Do not save your soul alone,
For the world you shall be a savior.
Your inner freedom can
Bring the world 's salvation.
Look at the holy man
And follow steeply his way.
33
Dissolve the excitement and involvement,
So turn from the dismemberment
To the usual ratio back.
Inner peace brings happiness.
34
Is the liberation achieved,
Again shows the order.
Stay still, leftovers from the dispute,
So you cleans the time.
Make a clean sweep
And live again fresh.
35
The obstacle is over,
Exemption made free.
Now live your will
In peace and quiet.
Recover you from the battles,
This is the right thing.
36
Free yourself from casual acquaintance,
Then draw near to see the kinship.
How should the like-minded people trust you,
If they look at you in alliance with fools?
37
Simplicity in religion,
Simplicity in art, my son!
Outer beauty is a mockery,
The intrinsic value is sufficient to God.
38
The superior man tames his anger out of love
And inhibits his wild instincts.
39
By reduction of the lower passion
You will enrich the spiritual soul’s force.
40
If you have done your duty,
Have met God's plan,
Thou shalt wander,
Give love to another.
But if you help a soul,
The good man then chooses,
How much help he can accept
From the serving man.
Only where such delicacy feelings live,
You can give without hesitation.
41
Who throws himself away to support others,
To nothing he will not be useed permanently.
Serve without abandoning yourself,
So is of lasting value your life.
42
True ruling must be serving.
A victim of the higher, granting grace,
Causes of the low a stimulation.
This spirit can save the world alone.
43
Does the superior good,
At once he does.
Did the noble stain and err,
He does it from the soul.
44
Is the blessing enormous,
So even distress is great.
The noble goes in his ways
To increase and blessing.
He is clean.
And he lives united to the truth,
He acquires inner authority,
As if he is in an office.
45
You must be between the leader and the followers,
For the operator of blessings
Be a selfless personality,
The pour as a leader of the blessing ends
In the led, for that determines it.
The mediator does not take anything for himself.
46
Real goodness does not expect,
The emergency is in accordance with its duty.
Health is spend to the sick,
Whether or not it also find wage and thanks.
Whose goodness dwells in his heart,
Is rewarded with goodness itself.
47
The high to the low is the increase,
The way of the simple teaching.
Is it not aid all together,
Man soon is lonely.
48
You must rest inside,
Before you do something!
Remember yourself,
Before you speaketh!
49
Are in the heart the shoots rut,
So darkens reason.
Battles, overcoming the passion,
Then the good reigns with force.
50
Choose the determination,
It consists of strength and friendliness.
But never may the righteous
Compromise with the bad.
Lead the fight against the evil shape,
Do not force,
Otherwise fights the evil with weapons
And it will create to defeat you,
Because you own the dispute without ceasing
And you'll be involved in evil hatred.
If the evil bleeds to death,
Stride before you in the good.
51
Who layeth up treasures for himself only,
Without that, the little ones enjoy,
The experienced who stops the aphorism,
Soon collapses.
52
Want to form the inner man,
Do not be stubborn like savages,
But you shall want to self-education drive,
Thou shall remain impressionable.
Because that is honorable,
The way is teachable.
53
Win the people reason,
So flees the animal rut.
Is a saint just perfect,
So follow him piously.
Prudence is the man
And puts on the armor,
The armor of sanctity,
Then he is safe.
54
If the superior man, honored by God,
With common people errs,
Does he have to keep the inner purity,
Keeping himself away from all wickedness.
Is he the wicked in the same country see,
If the pure misunderstood him,
We mistake the pure
And hold him even for a common one.
Alone, he is in the land,
There is no one who understands him.
His relationship with the common people
Seems to pollute the pure,
Is he also a hero before God,
Is he dirty in the eyes of the world.
But if the world fails to recognize him also,
He does not run into the traps,
He remains free from sin
And stays true to himself.
55
Comes with the dark feminine
The power of the earthly and bodily things,
The man on wisdom’s paths
As opposed seduction,
Does he recognize the consequences,
If he do not run into the traps.
56
As the common people come up,
Imagine a brazen hussy ago,
You'll get award frivolous
And do rule so white.
But the woman's power is naught,
Precludes the strong and light.
If the strong and light, the hero
But in weakness and sins falls,
Then the temptress wins with flattering,
Your beautiful makes hypocrisy.
The folly seems so childlike in heart,
The wise man thinks that he could joke with her.
57
A mutual concession
Of man and woman
And mind and body
If necessary to the pious man.
But it should be free from the ill
Of sin’s ulterior motives.
58
If an inferior element
Runs on your way,
Thou shalt inhibit it,
You shalt strong brace against it.
Will you let it proliferate, you will suffer,
You have to avoid the bad effect.
59
What are you doing at the lower figure?
You are doing the lower ones not to force.
Dominate them gently and without anger,
So it is not bad.
60
The common people
Thou shalt this day endure,
This leaves the child of the world to you, child of the light,
Well-mindedness.
Will alienate the pious man,
The fact that he did not preclude in the child of the world,
The child of the world so turns away,
Then you miss his staff,
He sometimes offered as an aid
In an earthly trouble.
Will he drive so proud of the way,
Did he attribute it to himself.
61
The common woman is a melon,
She's cute, but not without
What it is easy to get lazy
And a bitter taste in the mouth.
A wise and humble hero
Protectively holds his hands
About the melon-woman
And her sweet body.
But he will only win,
If he has inside the beauty in itself.
He does not need to brag about wisdom,
Not to paint the gloss on his face,
He does not have annoying reminders,
Speaking about the woman's plans.
Only if they also indebted,
That he graciously tolerate her.
It is transformed over time
Through the model of personality.
Is the only way is holy and immaculate,
It is the woman
With her sweet body
As a sweet melon in the womb!
62
Who retires from the world,
Often deceived by life malevolence,
Which is unspeakable,
The world’s gear
unbearable.
There are some of fine wood,
Full of nobility and pride,
The chat with the nobility of the pure
Far from the bustle of common ones,
No longer fool together with fools.
The proud sages are lonely!
They who did not want to be a fool,
Were always scolded as proud.
But as they left the world and her wrath,
It is not that bad.
Enter in the version backbiting
The sin-brothers and sister-fools.
63
A gentleman gets into trouble, but further
If he remains cheerful,
Despites the danger,
Thus, help comes wonderful.
The constant fidelity, you know,
Is stronger than fate.
Who in the exhaustion does not remain fixed,
Can break internally,
He will not come
Back to the light.
But who the emergency only prevented,
In the generated the need,
Mental effects with weight,
He is coming to light over time.
64
Take your destiny
And stay free
And stay as a wise man,
To your inner wisdom faithful!
Stay true to the very core,
Thus go the way to the destiny of the Lord.
65
Not one must inwardly overcome,
Otherwise the trouble will find the weak
Sitting under a leafless tree
And it remains to him hardly
A little choice but to drink absinthe
And to sink into melancholy.
66
You have to eat and drink
And yet you'll sink
In the ordinariness
Of the everyday
As the stone in the bottom of the reeds.
But from heaven comes help.
67
Obstacles in the invisible
And demonic threats
Do you have to overcome
And face them
Through fasting and prayer.
You should find yourself in the temple,
Defy not in patience
The sacrifice’s cult.
68
Improve the situations,
Thou shalt stand before the deity
And before the heavenly thrones,
Thanks to sacrify in prayers.
69
Do you think that it was not a blessing,
To move?
But the way must
Make a decision,
This enables the noble on earth,
To become the tribulation of the Lord.
70
Diversity of talkers and monks,
Are they still all people.
In all human creature
Inside is the God-nature.
Come to the divine source,
Then your humanity is bright.
Do not stay just on the surface,
Insert the convention,
But press forward to the ground,
God gave to you.
But woe to the swine,
Which the aborts search!
71
Concerning to you, to your soul
For a time, the people lack,
Then you can not help the people,
But that does not mean anything.
But the superior man draws in the resting force,
So he helps to restore and creates recovery
With new holy passion.
72
All that is visible must rise
Into the invisible life,
So what is mortal gained his consecration,
So it is the eternal-free,
It gained perfect clarity,
If it is rooted in truth.
The summit of the culture, my son,
Is the holy religion
And the sacrifice before God.
The underground offers himself to God.
But that is truly divine,
Combines humanity that you know it.
God reveals himself in the prophets
And saints, when they pray.
The saints of God worshipping
Is the true wisdom’s instruction.
Take the will of God in humility,
As it reveals the holy man of God,
Then you will be illuminated internally
And go to salvation.
73
Look in your culture,
If a creature
Observed is by none
Many despised,
Most foreign.
His activity is inhibited.
No one wants to feast
With his spiritual gifts.
What breathes his soul,
Yourself uselessly consume.
Alone, in wisdom’s seat,
He care about the real estate,
The possession of truth
In the first, according to clarity,
Then times will come,
When silence is the evil,
Barriers will be solved,
Then honours him the pious man.
74
I heard the thunder of the Lord
Threatning from afar,
The noble without mockery
In awe trembles before God.
The man of God praises the fear of God,
Just so the joy can follow.
75
God appears in the time of conversion,
Do not interrupt the act of sacrifice,
If you remove everything frivolous
And God serve in a dignified seriousness
If all outer terrors,
Do not scare your inner self .
So awesome teaches the master,
So fear God, the Holy Ghost.
76
The superior man in awe, far from the ridicule,
Kneels in front of the appearance of God,
He arranges his life,
No sin should there be anymore.
He explores his heart,
Whether he is offering God a pain,
So have awe before the divine mildness,
This is the way to make life.
77
Who passed through the court,
Comes into the light illuminating.
Thus, the divine terror
Leads you to salvation.
78
God rests your will,
If you take time for silence,
Blessed shalt thou encourage yourself,
If it is the time for moving.
79
Rest only inside,
Then do the exterior.
Then you do not see spasms
And fights
In the world’s gear,
You act in love,
You have in the world
The heroic love
And the love in the tabernacle,
So your way is without blemish.
80
The heart thinks constantly,
Is laughing, is mourning,
But give thoughts of your heart
Without barriers
And they teach by example
To the present.
81
You are forced to rest,
Inwardly permeated by restlessness.
The suppressed fire breath -
Too acrid smoke.
What are you doing with the inner shape?
Do not do thyself force!
Thou shalt love thy prayers stammer,
You collect internally.
Will you do this thing,
Soon you'll rest.
82
What is the most quiet?
He who forgets his ego.
83
Kill the selfish impulses,
Give yourself totally to divine love!
84
The rest of the wise, my son,
Originates from the humility and resignation.
85
Who wants to exert influence on others,
Cultivates the own personality.
Nothing good are, my son,
The phrases threshing of agitation.
86
Does the wild geese foraging found,
There are some of fine wood,
Full of nobility and pride,
The chat with the nobility of the pure
Far from the bustle of common ones,
No longer fool together with fools.
The proud sages are lonely!
They who did not want to be a fool,
Were always scolded as proud.
But as they left the world and her wrath,

Stay true to the very core,
Thus go the way to the destiny of the Lord.

comrades.
Who have consolation for his wounds,
How balm flowed!
And who blessed was with the redeemed,
His will is: The All-God will comfort so!
87
The summit is a high place,
Since you're lonely, my darling.
88
The wild goose flocks in free swarms
Passes through the high heavens,
Sometimes a feather falls down,
The can then blithely
Serve as a cult object
In the temple of pantomimes.
The perfect man is so
A light to the people of the earth,
They look up at him
And trust his model.
89
Please complete philosophy by energy,
Complete energy through philosophy.
90
The pilgrim must not be arrogant,
Because he is alone.
He must be fine as the skin of the onion,
This protects him from evil.
The pilgrim has no earthly place,
God within is his refuge.
What is expected of him?
He is a journeyman to the good guys.
91
A pilgrim follows the path in purity,
Avoids the everyday vulgarity.
He is weak in the dangers,
He should maintain his dignity.
Does he want to prepare friendship
By absurdities
And empty jokes,
So he reaps pain
As sorrow’s derangement,
Due to insult and contempt.
92
Inside he stays with in the soul-hoard,
So he comes to the right place.
93
My heart is not happy
And this is,
Because my spirit understood:
I am a stranger in my own country.
94
Soft as a heavenly messenger
Delivered are the way of God's commandments.
95
Think and know thy self,
But then make up your mind,
You have to walk in the innermost soul,
But then powerful act.
96
True joy,
My dear people,
When inside is the strength,
Outwardly mild and gentle works.
97
How is it with philosophy?
She was a cheerful energy.
Talk to like-minded people,
Those lips of truth overflowing.
Counsels about the mental clarity
And life in the truth,
Will you kiss the spirits of comrades,
Are you going to know much.
Achieved by such handling
The way of joy, it is easy.
But the lonely learning and teaching
Has always confined severity.
98
Who wordless, silent, stammers in tongues
Before God, is collected in himself,
Nothing from the outside he desires,
Taught by inner peace,
Stays clear of the egomania
And of sympathy and antipathy
In human sameness,
He rises to freedom,
He rises steeply to peace
And finds the inner salvation.
99
The higher people
Delights not really satisfy.
100
He passes by the ancestor
And take the way to the ancestress...
Who have consolation for his wounds,
How balm flowed!
And who blessed was with the redeemed,
His will is: The All-God will comfort so!
