Chapter 67
Power of Love
a
The whole world says God is Great
As if He is beyond compare
Because of God’s Greatness
He seems beyond compare
If God can be compared
He would have been forgotten long ago
b
I have three treasures I hold and protect
The first is love
The second is moderation
And the third is humility
Knowing love one becomes fearless
c
d
Knowing moderation one becomes generous
e
Knowing humility one gets ahead
If one is fearless but abandons love f
Generous but abandons moderation
And gets ahead but abandons humility
This will surely lead to death
g
Use love when engaging in battle and all will be conquered
And our defense will be secured
Love is the means by which the Heavens protect and save
