"Turn your faces away from the contemplation of your own finite selves and fix your eyes upon the Everlasting Radiance; then will your souls receive in full measure the Divine Power of the Spirit... This is the meaning of the power of the Holy Spirit." (Pt 166) (4:8) "It is incumbent upon thee, by the permission of God, to cleanse the eye of thine heart from the things of the world, that thou mayest realize the infinitude of divine knowledge, and mayest behold Truth so clearly that thou wilt need no proof to demonstrate His reality, nor any evidence to bear witness unto His testimony." (Iqan 91) (4:9) "Well is it with him who, aided by the living waters of the utterance of Him Who is the Desire of all men, hath purified himself from idle fancies and vain imaginings." (Esw 42) (4:10) "God has conferred upon man the gift of guidance... To express his gratitude for the favors of God, man must show forth praiseworthy actions... Whatsoever he wishes to do must be in harmony with the good- pleasure of God. He must... see what is the will of God, and act accordingly." (Pup 231)
(4:11)
