the Merciful Promise of the Enlightened One, whose light shineth

Enlightenment save only by birth into the Land of Gladness, and

our deeds, words, and thoughts of deceitfulness, our Father hath

attaining unto the true faith through that Holy Name, the very Jewel

Wisdom, destroy the darkness of ignorance in the Eternal Night, thus
fulfilling all the desires of men.
