(Lost) Commandments of Akhenaten
18 Be not over anxious
| 1 | Do not lie down at night in fear of tomorrow : |
| 2 | 'Comes day, how will tomorrow be ?' |
| 3 | Man ignores how tomorrow will be. |
| 4 | The god is ever in his perfection. |
| 5 | The man is ever in his failure. |
| 6 | The words men say are one thing, but |
| 7 | the deeds of God are another. |
| 8 | Do not say : 'I have done no wrong.', |
| 9 | and then labour to seek a quarrel. |
| 10 | The wrong belongs not to God. |
| 11 | He seals the verdict with his finger. |
| 12 | There is no perfection before God, |
| 13 | but there is failure before him. |
| 14 | If one labours to seek perfection, |
| 15 | in a moment he has marred it. |
| 16 | Keep firm your mind, and steady your physical heart. |
| 17 | do not steer with your tongue. |
| 18 | If a man's tongue is the boat's rudder, |
| 19 | the Lord of ALL is yet its pilot. |
