Uninzi lwethu lwalunengxaki ekuqaleni ukuqonda. Kodwa njengoko siqhubeka nokufunda, iphepha ngexesha, safumanisa ukuba inkqubo yePercival ekhethekileyo yokudluliselwa kolwazi yakhe ebizwa ngokuba kukusebenzisa amandla okufundela ende ngaphakathi kuthi nokuba amandla ethu okuqonda akhula ngokufunda nganye. Oku kusikhokelele ekubeni sizibuze ukuba inokwenzeka njani into yokuba sibe singenalo ulwazi olu lude kangaka. Ke izizathu zoko nazo ziye zacaca.

Ngokomgangatho ongaziwayo kuncwadi lwakudala okanye olwanamhlanje, umbhali ubonakalisa ngokucacileyo imvelaphi kunye nophuhliso lwendalo. Ukwabonisa umthombo, injongo kunye nokuphela kokufika komntu. Ixabiso lolu lwazi alunakufikeleleka njengoko linganikezeli kuphela kwimeko apho singazifumana khona kwindalo iphela, kodwa lisinceda ukuba siqonde injongo yethu esisiseko. Oku kubalulekile kuba njengoko ubukho bethu benziwa buqondakala ngakumbi, umnqweno wokuguqula ubomi bethu uvuswa.

UkuCinga nokuPhelela ayizange iphuhliswe njengomba wokuqikelela, okanye ukuphinda-phinda nokubumba izimvo zabanye. Yabhalwa njengendlela yePercival yokwazisa ngezinto azifundileyo emva kokuba ebenolwazi lokwenene. Malunga nomthombo kunye negunya lencwadi, uPercival ucacisa oku kwelinye lamanqaku akhe asele:

Umbuzo ngulo: Ngaba iingxelo zikwi UkuCinga nokuPhelela zinikiwe njengezambulo ezivela kubuThixo, okanye ngenxa yemibono yeembonakalo kunye nemibono, okanye zifunyenwe ngelixa zibhuqiwe, ziphantsi kolawulo okanye enye impembelelo yokusebenzelana nemimoya, okanye ziye zamkelwa kwaye zanikwa njengokuza kuvela kwi-Master of Wisdom? Kuyo yonke le nto, ndiyaphendula, ngokuqinisekileyo. . . Hayi!

Ke kutheni, kwaye ngeliphi igunya, ndithi ziyinyani? Igunya likumfundi. Kuya kufuneka agwebe ngokwenyani yamazwi alapha ngenyaniso ekuye. Olu lwazi yile bendiyazi emzimbeni wam, ngaphandle kwayo nayiphi na into endiyivileyo okanye endiyifundileyo, nangayo nayiphi na imiyalelo endiyifumene kuwo nawuphi na umthombo ngaphandle kwale nto ibhalwe apha.

Ethetha ngencwadi uqobo, uqhubeka athi:

Oku ndikunika njengeendaba ezimnandi zasebukhosini- kulowo uzenzayo kuwo wonke umzimba womntu.

Kutheni le nto ndibiza olu lwazi ukuba ziiNdaba Ezilungileyo Zasebukhosini? Ziindaba kuba ayaziwa kwaye uncwadi lwembali aluxeleli into ayenzayo, nokuba wenza njani ebomini, nokuba yeyiphi na into yomntu ongafiyo engena emzimbeni wenyama enze loo mzimba ube ngumntu. Ezi ndaba zilungile kuba kukuvusa umenzi ephupheni lakhe emzimbeni, ukuxelela ukuba yintoni eyahlukileyo nomzimba ekuwo, ukuxelela umenzi ovukayo ukuba angakhululeka kwi-thralldom ukuya emzimbeni ukuba Inqwenela kakhulu, ukuxelela umenzi ukuba akukho mntu unokuyikhulula ngaphandle kwayo, kwaye, iindaba ezimnandi kukuxelela umenzi ukuba angazifumana njani kwaye azikhulule. Ezi ndaba zeRoyal kuba isixelela umenzi ovusiweyo indlela awenza ngayo etroneni kwaye wazenza ikhoboka kwaye waziphosa ebukumkanini bomzimba wakhe, ukuba ungqina njani ilungelo lakhe kwaye ubuyisele ilifa lakhe, indlela yokulawula nokumisela ucwangco ebukumkanini bakhe; kunye nendlela yokufumana ulwazi olupheleleyo lwasebukhosini lwabo bonke abenza simahla.

Umnqweno wam osisiseko kukuba le ncwadi UkuCinga nokuPhelela izakusebenza njengesibane sokukhanya ukunceda bonke abantu ukuba bazincede.

UkuCinga nokuPhelela imele ukufezekiswa okubonakalayo ekubonakaliseni imeko yokwenyani kunye nokubakho komntu.
