Man should devote an hour to contemplation in Divine Design, an hour in soliloquy, anhour in taking account from self, an hour for doing justice to self so as nto to be disgusted in life. Keep them self-abreast of times, holding one’s peice, in search of lawful earning, amassing Eternal Wealth.

Not glee vanishes with though of death, laughter disappes with though of hellm, with knowledge of worldly revolution, faith in world subsides. With knowledge of Divine Decree grief disappears, with remembrance of Reckoning Day, negligence to righteousness is avoided. In short, avoid pursuit of being slave to passion and do what pleases Divinity.
