TRANSLATION 17 . N o crook ed thin kin g, no perv ers e, unscrupulous persons’ working or wickedness shall ever touch-affect the immortal Soul : no moral harm or injury can be done to it: As the lamb, hotly pursued by the wolves, is mortally frightened, even by their scent, so are moral perversions keeping a safe distance from the mere approach of the Soul, because of its innate Light and Virtue!
18. Thrice blessed is that immortal Soul, that has departed from this care-worn world, full of pricks and pain, with no friends to share them, and ‘crossed over’ to the Spiritual Existence, free from cares and conflicts and discord! 19 . Ma y t he immo rta l S oul att ain , as a consequence of its Good Life, that degree of the Hi ghest H eig ht of t he Spi ritu al Experience - viz. GAROTH-MAAN!
