(Lost) Commandments of Akhenaten


icon21   Be cautious

1Do not say : 'Find me a strong superior,
2for a man in your town has injured me.'
3Do not say : 'Find me a protector,
4for one who hates me has injured me.'
5Indeed You do not know the plans of God,
6and should not weep for tomorrow.
7Settle in the arms of God,
8your silence will overthrow them.
9The crocodile that makes no sound,
10dread of it is ancient !
11Do not empty your belly to everyone,
12and thus destroy respect of You.
13Broadcast not your words to others,
14nor join with one who bares his heart.
15Better is one whose speech is in his belly,
16than he who tells it to cause harm.
17One does not run to reach perfection,
18one does not create it to harm it.
