BELIEVE

DO NOT BELIEVE IN TRADITION,

MERELY BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN HANDED DOWN FOR MANY GENERATIONS 

AND IN MANY PLACES.

DO NOT BELIEVE IN ANYTHING

BECAUSE IT IS RUMOURED 

AND SPOKEN OF BY MANY.

DO NOT BELIEVE BECAUSE THE WRITTEN STATEMENT OF SOME OLD SAGE 
IS PRODUCED.

DO NOT BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU HAVE FANCIED, THINKING THAT, 
BECAUSE IT IS EXTRAORDINARY, IT MUST BE IMPLANTED BY A DIVINE BEING 
OR A WONDERFUL PERSON.

ONLY AFTER OBSERVATION AND ANALYSIS, 
WHEN IT AGREES WITH REASON 
AND IS CONDUCIVE TO THE GOOD AND BENEFIT OF ONE AND ALL,  
ONLY THEN DECIDE IF YOU WANT TO ACCEPT IT AND LIVE UP TO IT.
