INTRODUCTION
CHAPTER 1
IN PRAISE OF THE LORD
1. A is the starting-point of the world of sound : even so is the Great Original the starting-point of all that exists.
2. Of what avail is all thy learning if thou worship not the holy feet of Him of the perfect intelligence ?
3. Whoso taketh refuge in the sacred feet of Him whose walk is among flowers, his days will be many upon the earth.
4. Behold the men who cleave unto the feet of Him who is beyond preference and beyond aversion : the ills of life touch them not ever.
5. Behold the men who sing earnestly the praises of the Lord: they will be freed from the pain-engendering fruits of action both good and evil.[1]
