He is a true man who is dead een in this life -- that is, whose passions and propensities have been curbed to extinction as in a dead body. 10. Seekest thou God? Then see Him in man; His Divinity is manifest more in man than in any other object. Man is the greatest manifestation of God. 11. Look at the anvil of a blacksmith -- how it is hammered and breaten; yet it moves not from its place. Let men learn patience and endurance from it. 12. One can ascend to the top of a house by means of a ladder or a bamboo or a staircase or a rope; so too, diverse are the ways of approaching God and each religion in the world shows one of the ways. 13. In this age of work without devotion to God has no legs to stand upon. It is like a foundation on sand. First cultivate devotion. All other things -- schools, dispensaries, etc. -- will, if you like, be added to you. First devotion, then work. Work, apart from devotion or love of God, is helpless and cannot stand. 14. If you say, 'I am a sinner', eternally, you will remain a sinner to all eternally. You ought rather to repeat, 'I am not bound, I am not bound. Who can bind me? I am son of God, the King of kings.'
