ANOTHER SIGN OF KNOWING GOD is that you forgive those who did you wrong.

Translated from Uzbek · Original text

ANOTHER SIGN OF KNOWING GOD is that you forgive those who did you wrong.

You pray for them.

Deep within yourself, you long for good for them.

You do not want any person to burn in hell.

You wish no torment or suffering on any person.

You entrust everything to the will of God.

You do your own work: worship, obedience, sincerity, honest labor...

Hatred for bad deeds. Love for good deeds.

You hate not the person, but his deed.

If he does a good deed, you love both the person and his good deed.

For man is the Truth’s greatest creation. He deserves respect and love.

And again, the main work belongs to the heart.

If you bind your heart wholly to God, you begin to be freed from the worries of the world.
