  Speaker 1: Chapter thirteen. The world. Do not follow the evil law.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Do not live on in thoughtlessness. Do not follow false doctrine.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Be not a friend of the world. Rouse thyself, do
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: not be idle. Follow the law of virtue. The virtuous
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: rests in bliss in this world, and in the next.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Follow the law of virtue. Do not follow that of sin.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: The virtuous rests in bliss in this world and in
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the next. Look upon the world as a bubble, Look
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: upon it as a mirage. The King of Death does
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: not see him who thus looks down upon the world.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Come look at this glittering world, like unto a royal chariot.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: The foolish are immersed in it, but the wise do
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: not touch it. He who formerly was reckless and afterwards
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: became sober, brightens up this world like the moon when
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: freed from clouds. He whose evil deeds are covered by
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: good deeds brightens up this world like the moon when
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: freed from clouds. This world is dark. Few only can
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: see here. A few only go to heaven. Like birds
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: escaped from the net, the swans go on the path
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: of the Sun. They go through the ether by means
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: of their miraculous power. The wires are led out of
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: this world when they have ankered Marah and his train.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: If a man has transgressed one law and speaks lies
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: and scoffs at another world, there is no evil. He
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: will not do. The uncharitable do not go to the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: world of the gods. Fools only do not praise liberality.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: A wise man rejoices in liberality, and through it becomes
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: blessed in the other world. Better than sovereignty over the earth,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: better than going to heaven, better than lordship over all
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: worlds is the reward of the first step in holiness.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: End of chapter thirteen.
