Chapter VII: Intention, Sincerity and Truth
Jesus Christ said : O dishonest learned an, you fast, pray, pay zakat but you do not do what you were ordered and you read what you do not do. What you utter is very bad. You utter Tauba by mouth but you follow in heart your passions. Your Tauba by mouth will come to no use. You keep your outer appearance neat and clean but you keep your mind polluted and unclean. I will tell you with truth that you should not become like a sieve. Subtle things come out of a sieve and only outward forms remain.
Words of wisdom come out of your mouth, but hatred and evils remain in your mind. O worshipers of the world, how can you gain the fortunes of the next world when there is no end of your greed and temptations ? I tell you with truth that your hearts are weeping seeing your actions. You have placed the world under your tongue and actions under your feet.
I tell you with truth that you have destroyed your next world.
Earthly good is dearer to you than the good of the next world.
Who are more losers than you ? Had you known, you would have gained for yourselves. You show path to the travelers, but remain in the same place being misguided. You call the worldly people to give up those things for you. Stop, stop, alas for you. What is the use of keeping a lamp on the top of the house in a dark house ?

Similarly what will be the use of keeping the lamp of education in your mouth?
(3) O worshipers of the world, you are not like the pious men, like the free respected men. It is a wonder that the world will cut off your roots and throw them over your faces and then enter your nostrils. Then it will throw you into Hell.
