Today, we seek for the righteous knowledge, righteous path, and righteous work, etc. One desires the Spirit of the heavens along with the life of the earth, found with a compassionate and forgiving enlightened one. When the Spirit of the heaven is found, speak your voice of love, your voice of remembrance and be firm in a peaceful voice. Honor my voice!
Seek the enlightened one who walks amongst us, speak with honor and respect!
