16. Thrice blessed is the man who has made purity and love his very own; he has been ransomed from the perils of the lower self and is himself his higher self. 17. Men seek salvation from an evil that they deem a living monster of the nether world; and they have gods that are but demons in disguise; all powerful, yet full of jealousy and hate and lust; 18. Whose favors must be bought with costly sacrifice of fruits, and of the lives of birds, and animals, and human kind. 19. And yet these gods possess no ears to hear, no eyes to see, no heart to sympathize, no power to save. 20. This evil is a myth; these gods are made of air, clothed with shadows of a thought. 21. The only devil from which men must be redeemed is self, the lower self. If man would find his devil he must look within; his name is self. 22. If man would find his savior he must look within; and when the demon self has been dethroned the savior, Love, will be exulted to the throne of power. 23. The David of the light is Purity, who slays the strong Goliath of the dark, and seats the savior, Love, upon the throne. -Circle 7 Koran
