O SON OF MAN! Upon the tree of effulgent glory I have hung for thee the choicest fruits, wherefore hast thou turned away and contented thyself with that which is less good? Return then unto that which is better for thee in the realm on high. “22: O SON OF SPIRIT! Noble have I created thee, yet thou hast abased...” O SON OF SPIRIT! Noble have I created thee, yet thou hast abased thyself. Rise then unto that for which thou wast created. “23: O SON OF THE SUPREME! To the eternal I call thee, yet thou dost seek that...” O SON OF THE SUPREME! To the eternal I call thee, yet thou dost seek that which perisheth. What hath made thee turn away from Our desire and seek thine own? “24: O SON OF MAN! Transgress not thy limits, nor claim that which...” O SON OF MAN! Transgress not thy limits, nor claim that which beseemeth thee not. Prostrate thyself before the countenance of thy God, the Lord of might and power. “25: O SON OF SPIRIT! Vaunt not thyself over the poor, for I lead him on...” O SON OF SPIRIT! Vaunt not thyself over the poor, for I lead him on his way and behold thee in thy evil plight and confound thee for evermore. “26: O SON OF BEING!

Whoso doeth this is accursed of Me. “27: O SON OF MAN! Breathe not the sins of others so long as thou art...” O SON OF MAN! Breathe not the sins of others so long as thou art thyself a sinner. Shouldst thou transgress this command, accursed wouldst thou be, and to this I bear witness. “28: O SON OF SPIRIT! Know thou of a truth: He that biddeth men be just...” O SON OF SPIRIT! Know thou of a truth: He that biddeth men be just and himself committeth iniquity is not of Me, even though he bear My name. “29: O SON OF BEING! Ascribe not to any soul that which thou wouldst...” O SON OF BEING! Ascribe not to any soul that which thou wouldst not have ascribed to thee, and say not that which thou doest not. This is My command unto thee, do thou observe it. “30: O SON OF MAN! Deny not My servant should he ask anything from...” O SON OF MAN! Deny not My servant should he ask anything from thee, for his face is My face; be then abashed before Me. “31: O SON OF BEING! Bring thyself to account each day ere thou art...” O SON OF BEING! Bring thyself to account each day ere thou art summoned to a reckoning; for death, unheralded, shall come upon thee and thou shalt be called to give account for thy deeds. “32: O SON OF THE SUPREME! I have made death a messenger of joy to thee....” O SON OF THE SUPREME! I have made death a messenger of joy to thee. Wherefore dost thou grieve? I made the light to shed on thee its splendor. Why dost thou veil thyself therefrom? “33: O SON OF SPIRIT! With the joyful tidings of light I hail thee: rejoice!...”
