Chapter 6 - Alms, Fasting, Treasures, Concerns
1. "Be mindful of your piety, that you practice it before the people with correct words, lest you be accused of lying and thereby find no reward from them.
2. "Choose your words using natural logic, and draw upon the knowledge and behaviour of nature.
3. "When you give alms, you shall not proclaim it, as do the hypocrites in the synagogues and on the streets, that they may be praised by the people; truly, I say to you, they have forfeited their reward, because their alms serve only their selfishness.
4. "And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites, who enjoy standing and praying in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets,
because they pray only for the sake of their selfishness and the impression they have upon the people.
5. "When you pray, you shall call upon the omnipotence of the spirit and not babble misleading nonsense like the idol worshippers, the ignorant and the selfish, because they think they are heard when they use many words.
6. "The Creation-spirit part of the human has no need for many words, however humans need the knowledge of how powerful it is.
7. "Pray therefore to the omnipotence of the spirit, in the knowledge that its greatness and power are infinite.
8. "If you do not know how to pray directly to the almighty power of the spirit, make use of something sacred by which you can reach the spirit.
9. "But be never like the ignorant, the hypocrites, the idol worshippers and the selfish, who worship something sacred in the belief that the omnipotence of the spirit dwells in it.
10. "Be aware, however, that the almighty power of the spirit always dwells within you regardless of your usage of a sacred object or place.
