AWUKHO WEDWA

Awuzazi wena, kwaye akukho namnye omnye owaziyo. Nangona kunjalo, kwisixuku esingaqhelekanga, intlango, okanye encotsheni yentaba apho kungekho sidalwa siphilayo, akufuneki uzive ulilolo. Owakho oCinga kunye noKwazi akhona; Baziziqu zakho; awuna kwahluka kubo; nangona nje njengoMenzi wazo uxhonywe emzimbeni wenyama, apho ufihlakele kuwe kwaye udidekile ziimvakalelo.

UKWAZI kwakho uyazi yonke into esebenzisa umhlaba; ocinga ukuba unguMcinga wolu lwazi ngokunxulumene nawe nabo bonke abanye abasehlabathini; UnguMenzi wabaCingeli bakho kunye noKwazi. Wena kunye noMcingeli wakho kunye noMninimzi awuzizo ezahlukileyo ezintathu, kodwa zineenxalenye ezintathu zeStrune Self engabonakaliyo. Umsebenzi woLwazi kukwazi-nokwazi njengoko-Umntu oziqu ezintathu. Umntu wakho okwazi nokuqiqa uyazi kwaye acinge njengoBathathu Emnye, kuKonaphakade. Ukwi-engunaPhakade, kodwa awazi njengoMenzi weTestune Self kwaye le nto uyenzayo ayenziwanga nokuba uyi-Triune Self kuba usongelwe emzimbeni oxhomekeke kwixesha, kwaye ulawulwa ziiimvakalelo, abangumlinganisi kunye nabenzi bobuqhetseba bexesha. Unokwazi kwaye ucinge kuba uyinxalenye yesiSazi kunye noMcinga, ngubani owaziyo kwaye ucinga njengoLingano weZenzo. Kodwa awuyazi into engapheliyo, okanye eyakho oCinga ngayo kwaye eyazi okanye malunga nolwalamano lwakho noluntu oluThathu. Oku kungenxa yokuba ubanjiselwe ngaphakathi kwiimvakalelo, kwaye ngeemvakalelo ziqhutywa ukuba ziphile, kunye nokucinga ngexesha kunye nezinto zezinto, njengoko kulinganiswa ziimvakalelo. Uqeqeshiwe ukuba ucinge ngokweemvakalelo kwaye uzichonge ngokwamandla abo kwaye uzenzele ukuba uxhomekeke kwizimvo zolwazi kunye nolwalathiso.

Uziva uxhomekeke, kwaye unesithukuthezi, kwaye uwedwa; kwaye uyalangazelela umntu othile onokuxhomekeka kuye, onokuthembela kuye. Awunakuxhomekeka entweni nayiphi na into okanye kwiimvakalelo; baya kutshintsha. Awunakuthembela kwiimvakalelo; baya kukukhohlisa. Ungathembela kuphela kwinto enguCinga kunye noKwazi isiqu sakho seTrune. Wena, Menzi, awuzi mvakalelo; uluvakalelo oluqukayo-kunye-nomnqweno ofihliweyo kwimithambo yegazi kunye negazi lomzimba okulo; kwaye, njengemvakalelo-kunye-nomnqweno, wena, Doer, uqhuba kwaye uqhube umatshini womzimba phantsi kwesikhokelo sokubona nokuva kwaye unomdla okanye uphenjelelwa kukungcamla nokunuka. Okukhona ucinga ngeemvakalelo okanye zezinto ezinengqiqo, kokuya kancinci uya kuyazi le nto ucinga ngayo kunye noKwaziyo njengoNtsika oziLungisa kuPhakade. Awunako ukwazi ukuba ngunaphakade ngeli xesha usazi ixesha.

Kodwa, nangona uzivale emzimbeni kwaye ubonwe ziimvakalelo, uyazi, kwaye unokucinga. Ke ngoko, unokucinga njengoCinga wakho njengomgcini wakho kunye nomgwebi oza kukukhusela kuko konke ukwenzakala, kude kube ngoku uvumele ngokwakho ukuba ukhuselwe. Unokuxelela umgcini wakho kwaye ugwebe iimfihlo zentliziyo yakho, amabhongo akho kunye neminqweno yakho, ngamathemba akho kunye noloyiko. Unokuyivula ngokukhululekileyo intliziyo yakho; akufuneki uzame ukufihla nantoni na; awunakufihla nto. Yonke into ocinga ngayo okanye oyenzileyo iyaziwa, kuba ijaji yakho iyinxalenye yeTruneune yakho eyaziyo yonke ingcinga kunye nesenzo sakho. Unokukhohlisa imvakalelo yakho-kunye-nomnqweno, njengoko iingqondo zakho zikukhohlisa, kodwa awunakhohlisa umgadi wakho kunye nomgwebi, ngenxa yokuba imvakalelo ayinamandla phezu kwakhe. Awungekhe ukhohlise umgwebi wakho njengoko ungakholelwa ukuba awazi. Uyakwazi ngoku. Unokunxibelelana naye xa uthanda. Ungathi cwaka ngaphakathi, okanye ucinge: “NguMgwebi wam kunye neNqanawa yam! Ndinike ukuKhanya kwakho, kunye nokuKhanya kweNtsasa yakho! Ndihlale ndikhumbula ngawe, ukuze ndenze lonke uxanduva lwam kwaye ndikwazi ukuhlala ndithandana nawe. ”Biza kuye ngokukodwa ngexesha lengxaki, xa usengozini. Uya kukukhusela kwaye akukhokele. Akayi kukulahla. Ukuba umthemba ngokwenene akufuneki woyike.
