O SON OF SPIRIT!
I created thee rich, why dost thou bring thyself
down to poverty? Noble I made thee, wherewith
dost thou abase thyself? Out of the essence
of knowledge I gave thee being, why seekest
thou enlightenment from anyone beside Me?
Out of the clay of love I molded thee, how dost
thou busy thyself with another? Turn thy sight
unto thyself, that thou mayest find Me standing
within thee, mighty, powerful and self-subsisting.
