(Lost) Commandments of Akhenaten


icon18   Be not over anxious

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