The Concentrated Centre of Nature · Passage 58
German
Darumb lernet erst die Weißheit für eurer Seele: Wenn ihr sie findet, so wirds euch hernach wol gehen, und eure Hoffnung wird nicht umbsonst seyn. Mit ihr kommt alles Gutes, und unzählig Reichthumb ist in ihrer Hand. Findet ihr des Menschen natürliches Centrum, so wird euch die Arbeit nach Wuntsch gerathen.
English
Therefore first learn wisdom for your soul. When you find it, things will afterwards go well with you, and your hope will not be in vain. With it comes every good thing, and immeasurable wealth is in its hand. If you find the human being’s natural centre, your work will succeed as you desire.
