O YE THAT PRIDE YOURSELVES ON
MORTAL RICHES!
Know ye in truth that wealth is a mighty barrier
between the seeker and his desire, the lover and
his beloved. The rich, but for a few, shall in
no wise attain the court of His presence nor
enter the city of content and resignation. Well
is it then with him, who, being rich, is not hindered
by his riches from the eternal kingdom,
nor deprived by them of imperishable dominion.
By the Most Great Name! The splendor of such
a wealthy man shall illuminate the dwellers of
heaven even as the sun enlightens the people
of the earth!
