The essence of wealth is love for Me. Whoso loveth Me is the possessor of all things, and he that loveth Me not is, indeed, of the poor and needy. This is that which the Finger of Glory and Splendor hath revealed... (141:7) The essence of faith is fewness of words and abundance of deeds; he whose words exceed his deeds, know verily his death is better than his life... (141:8) The source of all evil is for man to turn away from his Lord and set his heart on things ungodly. 0 The most burning fire is to question the signs of Got, to dispute idly that which He hath revealed, to deny Him ant carry one's self proudly before Him. (141:9) 1 The source of all learning is the knowledge of God, exalted be His Glory, and this cannot be attained save through the knowledge of His Divine Manifestation. The essence of abasement is to pass from under the shadow of the Merciful, and seek the shelter of the Evil One.
(141:10)
