Advice For My Child of Heaven's Paradise

Do not look or wait for heaven’s kingdom, for it is in and outside of you 
Never tremble to ask for a hand to get through 
Pray without hypocrisy or you will fool just yourself 
Pray every day and night till the last breath itself 
Do not let the left hand know the crafting of your right hand 
Build your house on the cornerstone, not drifting sand 
Watch with care all animals and plants as your eye’s pupil 
Love your friends as your own light without a scruple 
Make peace with yourself to make the mountain of this world move
Do what is bright even when your colleagues reprove
Ride the heavenly horse, since you can’t ride two as a pair
Hear the neighing of heaven’s pleroma through prayer
