The sage asked the spirit of wisdom
Mainyo-i-Khard
The sage asked the spirit of wisdom
thus: 'Is liberality good, or truth,
or gratitude, or wisdom,
or complete mindfulness, or contentment?'
The spirit of wisdom answered
thus: 'As to the soul it is liberality, as to all the world it is truth,
unto the sacred beings it is gratitude, as to a man's self it is wisdom,
as to all business it is complete mindfulness, and as to the comfort of the body and the vanquishing of Aharman and the demons contentment is good.'
