| 4 | If thou wishest to guide the souls, it is incumbent
on thee to be firm, to be good and to be imbued with
praiseworthy attributes and divine qualities under all
circumstances.  Be a sign of love, a manifestation of
mercy, a fountain of tenderness, kind-hearted, good to
all and gentle to the servants of God, and especially to
those who bear relation to thee, both men and women.
Bear every ordeal that befalleth thee from the people
and confront them not save with kindness, with great
love and good wishes. |
