In this first letter to his spiritual
successor at Delhi, he impressed upon him
the importance of teaching his disciples a
few points of divine mystery. In this letter
he explained that he, who knew God, never
begged anything of him, nor had he any
desires. A person who did not know God could
not understand such things. Avarice was
detestable. A person must give it up. He who
kept himself under control would enter
Heaven. A person who indulged in immoral way
should die cursed and in regret, but a
person who did otherwise would be wrapped up
in mercy and salvation. A person who
submitted to the will of God should be
protected by him. A person intending to be
initiated into the realm of mysticism had to
lead a life of hardship and love, in order
to be saved from the clutches of Satan. It
was also incumbent upon a saint, that after
attaining spiritual peace, he should
continue to worship of God with devotion and
sincerity just as a man thirsts for water,
so also is the boundless and ever-increasing
thirst for the love of God, until death
comes upon him.
