Few are the seeds of God, but they are mighty, beautiful and good: virtue, self-control and devotion to God. Devotion to God is knowledge of God. He who has discovered it, is filled with all that is good, and he is endowed with divine understanding, which is not like the understanding of the multitude. Therefore, those who are seated in knowledge neither please the multitude nor does the multitude please them. They seem to be mad and have become a laughing stock; they are hated and despised and may even be put to death. 
Evil we say, must need live down here in its own country. Its country is the earth, but not the Cosmos as some blasphemously affirm. However, the man who fears God will support all since he has realised true knowledge; for to such a man all things are good, even those that are evil for others. When entangled with difficulties he refers all things to true knowledge; he alone turns evil into good.  Knowledge is regarded by the fool as ignorance, and the things that are profitable are to him hurtful. He lives in death. It is therefore his food.
God is truth and he lives by truth and feeds thereon. He is the king of truth and he has established the earth there on. He gives life to man; he breathes the breath of life into his nostrils.
