Passage 4

In English

Earn the right to approach God without fear

The Lord is as the divine wish-fulfilling tree, which gives whatever is asked. But you have to go near the tree and wish for the thing you want.

That is the meaning of the bell that is rung in front of the inner shrine in the temple. Earn the right to approach the Lord without fear and the right to ask for your heritage.

The I, when crossed out, becomes the symbol of cross; what is crucified is the ego, remember. Then, the divine nature manifests itself unhampered.
