Advice For My Child of Heaven's Paradise

Do not look or wait for heaven’s kingdom, for it is in and outside of you Never tremble to ask for a hand to get through Pray without hypocrisy or you will fool just yourself Pray every day and night till the last breath itself Do not let the left hand know the crafting of your right hand Build your house on the cornerstone, not drifting sand Watch with care all animals and plants as your eye’s pupil Love your friends as your own light without a scruple Make peace with yourself to make the mountain of this world move Do what is bright even when your colleagues reprove Ride the heavenly horse, since you can’t ride two as a pair Hear the neighing of heaven’s pleroma through prayer
