Listen to my final words, the deepest secret of all. You are my dear friend of firm intellect, and I speak for your benefit. Dedicate yourself to me, worship me, sacrifice all for me, bow down before me, and you will certainly come to me. I promise you this, for you are truly dear to me. Give up all earthly duties, and surrender yourself to me alone. Do not be anxious, for I will absolve you of all your sins. This knowledge is for you. It should never be imparted to one who is devoid of austerity or devotion, who does not render service, who has no desire to listen, or is indignant towards me.
