spirituality :
O dear one of God Be the
son of your father and be the fruit of that tree. Be a son
that hath been born of his soul and heart and not only of

from the spiritual part of man. I ask God that you may be
at all times. Confirmed and strengthened.

duties towards your parents :

towards your parents :
If thou wouldst show
kindness and consideration to your parents so that they
may feel generally pleased, this would also please God,
for parents must be highly respected and it is essential
that they should feel contented, provided they deter you
not from gaining access to the Threshold of the Almighty,
nor keep you back from walking in the way of the Kingdom.
indeed it is their duty to encourage and spur you on it
this direction.

of your Father :
The son must show forth
the utmost obedience towards his father, and should
conduct himself as humble and a lowly servant. Day and
night he should seek diligently to ensure the comfort and
welfare of his loving father and to secure his own rest
and, enjoyment and constantly strive to bring gladness to
the heart of his father and mother, that thereby he may
attain the good-pleasure of the Almighty and be graciously
aided by the hosts of the unseen.
