“Потоп всегда может прийти, стремительно и без предупреждения, ибо земля не способна приготовиться к нему. А значит, бояться его не стоит.”

“Sie, welche erkennen
das Dorf der Himmlischen Hügel-
Sie lassen Felder und Trennen,
suchend Gott nahe zu sein.
Sie, welche entstammen
dem Dorf der Himmlischen Hügel,
Sie rollen die Bücher zusammen,
suchend Gott nahe zu sein.
Wer nach dem Staube sich sehnt
des Dorfes der Himmlischen Hügel,
Geld und Gut er verläßt,
suchend Gott nahe zu sein.
Wer einmal den Duft empfing
des Dorfes der Himmlischen Hügel,
Er läßt das bunte Gewand,
suchend Gott nahe zu sein.
Das Dorf der Himmlischen Hügel:
wer es nur einmal gesichtet,
der hat den Körper vernichtet,
Suchend Gott nahe zu sein.”
