12-6
Stay ever so close to me, and you will not deviate from the path I have prepared for you. This is the most efficient way to stay on track; it is also the most enjoyable way. Men tend to multiply duties in their observance of religion. This practice enables them to give me money, time, and work without yielding up to me what I desire the most-their hearts. Rules can be observed mechanically. Once they become habitual, they can be followed with minimal effort and almost no thought. These habit-forming rules provide a false sense of security, lulling the soul into a comatose condition.
What I search for in my children is an awakened soul that thrills to the joy of my presence! I created mankind to glorify me and enjoy me forever. I provide the joy; your part is to glorify me by living close to me.
始终紧密地与我同在，你就不会偏离我为你准备的道路。这是保持正确轨迹最有效的方式，也是最愉快的方式。人们在遵守宗教规定时往往会增加职责。这种做法使他们能够给我金钱、时间和工作，却没有将我最渴望的东西交托给我——他们的心。规则可以机械地遵守。一旦成为习惯，它们就可以用最小的努力和几乎没有思考地遵循。这些养成习惯的规则给人一种虚假的安全感，将灵魂催眠成昏迷状态。
我在我的儿女中寻找的是一个被唤醒的灵魂，为我的同在而兴奋！我创造人类是为了荣耀我并永远享受我。我提供喜乐；你的任务是通过与我亲近来荣耀我。
