Chapter Fifty-Two

The world sprouts from something

People could call it the mother of the world

When one knows that mother, one knows her child

One who becomes like that child again, will know the mother

And for the rest of his life nothing can harm him ever again

He won’t criticize anyone and lets no one influence him

And his life will be without worries

But one who condemns others and whose interests concern only himself

Will be full of worries the rest of his life

One that sees a gleam of light in darkness sees the light at the end of the tunnel

Holding on to that gleam of light requires strength

One who follows that light, turns back to the original light

Then all danger is gone

And you’ll live the eternal life
