Appendix 5
When no one drops a coin in your apron Nor gives you comfon. When no one helps you and you succeed not in your aaions Let your thoughts tum to Him who is your Maker And your affairs will forever go well. When cares crowd upon you When your body is foul with disease
When you are obsessed with thoughts of your wife and your kinsmen Are sometimes happy and sometimes sad, When restless and agitated you wander in all directions Without a moment's rest, without a moment's sleep Let your thoughts turn to Him who is your Maker, And your body and mind will forever be whole. When lust, anger, and attachment have you captive And full of greed you are ever wanting, covetous, When you have committed the four sins (Drunk wine, thieved, fornicated, and killed) And in the company of devils have become a devil. When neither books of wisdom nor songs nor hymns of praise Fall upon your ears Let your thoughts turn to Him who is your Maker And in the twinkling of an eye will you be saved.
Books of wisdom you might know by heart, and recite Prayers and practise the penances of the Yogis, all pilgrimages undenake And twice perform the six good acts (Learn and impan learning to others, Sacrifice and make others give in sacrifice Give aJms and accept charity), Bathe in holy water and do worship. If you love not the Lord with all your being, It is all in vain and for you there is nothing but hell. Empires, kingdoms, and baronies may be yours And the wherewithal of power and pleasure. You may own orchards, beautiful and bountiful, And have power over others with001 any limit And indulge in sports and pastimes to keep yourself amused. If your thoughts turn not to Him who is your Maker Yours will be the rebirth as a serpent.
