Recite the verses of God every morning and evening. Whoever does not recite does not fulfill the covenant and bond of God. Whoever turns back from them to-day is of those who turn back from God in the eternity of past eternities. Fear God, all ye My creatures, all of you together! Let not the multitude of readings and acts of worship night and day [note 1] make you conceited. Were one to read one of the verses with joy and sweetness, it were better for him than if he recite lazily the volumes of God: the Overseer: the Self-Subsistent One. Recite the verses of God to such a degree that you are not overtaken by lassitude and sorrows. Do not weigh down spirits with what causes them lassitude and heaviness, but put upon them that which lightens them so that they soar with the wings of the verses to the Rising- place of the explanations. This is nearer to God, if you were only wise.
