"My purpose... was that thou mightest attain My everlasting dominion... And yet heedless thou didst remain, and... didst neglect all My bounties and occupied thyself with thine idle imaginings, in such wise that thou didst become wholly forgetful, and, turning away from the portals of the Friend didst abide within the courts of My enemy." (Hwp 32) (82:6) "Today, humanity is bowed down with trouble... no one escapes;... but thank God, the remedy is at our doors. Let us turn our hearts away from the things of the world; we must strive to become more spiritual." (Pt 87) (82:7) "Our greatest efforts must be directed towards detachment from the things of the world; we must strive to become more spiritual." (Pt 87) (82:8) "The wayfarer in this Valley (Valley of Knowledge)... breaketh the cage of the body and the passions, and consorteth with the people of the immortal realm." (7 Val 12)
(82:9)
